ways i know of to move a robot around 2D space with only 1DoF control<br/><br/>(you could also split the motor between “drive forward” and “change steering angle”, but that&#39;s a weird control scheme, less symmetrical) 2026-09-04T14:17:15Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyye5gf08g9jwlpmnsgyvy0tsmeq2qxkm8hjw7wj966d3n9akxfmszyqwpurn22p2ypewakzsp9g7vayw0l7gujflj459s3zznl7lrth8qzzd8efj In reply to

their angle limited<br/><br/>i don&#39;t think front or back really matters<br/><br/>but that makes it have hysteresis and go straight better<br/><br/>so it isn&#39;t a pure tank drive that literally requires moving each wheel the same amount in alternating steps<br/><br/>but it definitely makes the guidance more complicated haha, hard to know where it will actually go 2026-09-04T14:15:34Z
