The Tanner Chassis was mainly designed by Tanner Smith and Sunny Gupta. Officially (as TIMS saw it), the robot was still named "Logan Rover" from 2009.

Mechanics

Kicker

Ball Holder

Control

The robot was controlled using two XBox 360 controllers - one for driving and one for manipulation.

Driving

Driving was in a arcade like mode using two independent joysticks on the XBox 360 controller. One was used for Y speed and one was used for rotational speed.

Manipulation

Manipulation control using the XBox 360 controllers was quite simple and probably could've been accomplished using a regular joystick. One button was used for arming/firing and another as a failsafe in case the kicker refused to arm. Power setting for the kicker was set as either one of the trigger potentiometers on the controller.

Programming

The Tanner Chassis was programmed using LabVIEW. The arming and variable kick setting of the kicker was all automated using encoder values and a limit switch. The rest of the robot was pretty basic.
