bot topples if approaching a gradient at speed #4

Closed kaeverens closed 3 years ago

because the bot is top-heavy, the centre of balance is high, so raising the front wheels too quickly can cause it to topple.

possible solution: attach a t-shaped hook to the bot which hangs between the wheens. it can be hooked into a channel on the riser track to help stop the bot from toppling

fixed by slowing down motors by using pulses of 20ms on, 20ms off, and by work done in #2
