I am tasked with writing the controls for a autonomous robot using a cRIO to control a BobCat. I developed a prototype on an electric wheelchair base.
My issues:
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience?

I would think it to be simple, actually. "Casual" logic suggests that all calculations are made from the center of the contact patch. Probably the most important thing is to know is the size of the tracks. Then treat the tracks as wheels of the same size. I don't know if this works. the easiest thing to do, I guess, is to try it out. 🙂 Well, maybe on a scale model.

Well I agree that it will work to some degree. It would be cool if there was a white paper on the topic. Hopefully I am over thinking it.
