Exactly!
See, that works for me! Besides the only thing more boring than fishing is golf.
Flippy things
I’d really thought about that, trying to get the one side flipping, but wanted to initally jsut see how I could control it. It might be capable still, but I’d have to make sure all electronics and sensors stayed within it’s size, to allow it to drive inverted. ANd make sure stuff didn’t get disconnected when it spin/flips the side wheels.
For everybody, this video shows what the car is like under RC control :
So, do you want to go
So, do you want to go fishing on the Outer Banks? That’s going to be our vacation place the 2nd week of October.
Ocracoke Island, NC. Almost no people. Quite. There’s nothing to do there, except doing nothing. Eat, sleep, fish, drink, screw. Repeat until exhausted. Repeat again. Over and over. For a week. 
I’m looking forward to it.
Last year, I intentionally drowned my cell phone in the surf. And it may happen again this year. OOPS !

Possible nav
I’ve thought about intertial measurement, as any wheel encoder set-up would be hampered by the amount of slippage in the wheels. A few minor attempts at speed control met with the robot either not moving, or getting over a “thresold” where it would spin the wheels breifly as it was taking off. All I’ve really played with were some canned moves, which could be a build upon Chris the Carpenters idea of programmingin a sequence for it to perform. Could wind up just being a cute performance toy, thoiugh I did see one government agency set up a bunch of these in a swarm project of some sort.,
Cool Bot
The 56F80x DSP’s are sweet. Cool board for a project. I have a bunch of 56F803 EVM’s I was thinking of putting on Ebay and a 56F827 I’m trying to find a use for. Do you use the CodeWarrior tools?
