Prototyping: Current Limiting on Drivetrain #13

Closed nicojopr closed 4 years ago

nicojopr commented 4 years ago

-take an existing robot and apply current limiting profiles to the drivetrain -goal is to shut down the motors if they're stalling for too long (pushing against opponent) (or apply motor brake?) -but do not prevent ability to fight back minor skirmishes or recover from crashing into a field obstacle -add a warning system before motors cut off so that drive team does not get surprised by a sudden power loss?

Use Mergonaut for this task as we already know how it behaves without the current limiting profiles.

Starting now on Feb 10th. Open to collab with other students if anyone wants to.

Feel free to Google and search places like the Chief Delphi forums to see what other teams are doing for drivetrain current limiting, though I recognize that this is like trying to drink from a firehose.
