support for holonomic robots #347

Open dwalton76 opened 7 years ago

dwalton76 commented 7 years ago

This is a pretty cool robot, we do not have an API that makes this sort of robot easy: http://www.bartneck.de/2017/08/27/holonomic-lego-mindstorms-robot/

They used LeJos

The LeJOS EV3 API has the OmniPilot Class that makes controlling a holonomic robot easy

The only downside with this one is the $120 mouse that he used to control it. I bet a $10 PS3 controller could be used instead.

Somewhat related to #315 and #336
