How are you synchronising the two robots, or do they just use different routines in response to the same IR signal?
They are not synchronised, this is the dificult part of my project. Both robots walk independently, first I give the order to the red RN to move forward pressing the key 1 of the remote control and the robot stretch out both hands and begin to walk. The yellow RN perceives that the FSR sensors has been pushed by the end of the ladder, so it begins to move backwards. The movement of turning is similar.
The FSR sensors are situated on the hands of the yellow RN:
I have made it this way becuse I want to make the system as real as posible. When 2 people are carrying a ladder they don't tell each other where to go, instead, one follows the other by feeling his movement. This project is the same.
In fact, sometimes the two robot are not totally aligned so the red robot can stretch both arms but the yellow only sense one of the FSR, so the red robot moves forward and the yellow one turns, so the system crash!!!!It's been very difficult to make that the robots always keep the distance and don't turn themselves.
