questions on continous rotation

[ftuser]

Hi,

As a potential buyer, I've got some questions on the continuous rotation mode of these dynamixel servos.

In this mode, what feed back do you actually still have?
Can you use the position data to do odometry?
If you use two to drive your robot, is it guaranteed to move straight?
Suppose you build a mini sumo using these servos, would you be able to measure the force applied against the robot?

Thanks, Paul

In free rotation there's a dead zone where the servo doesnt return the the angle. the pot only measures 300deg if i remember correctly.

indeed you could get an indication of the sumo bot being pushed because the current measured would increase.
