Thoughts on designing a new controller

My musings on the topic are here:

Musings on a new design

So I’m really trying my hardest to take a proper break to rest and recuperate, but I can’t stop thinking about Maslow stuff so I want to write out what I’ve been thinking so that I can 1) not have to remember it all 2) get community feedback 3) put my ideas in the public domain 4) maybe someone else wants to make them so I can just but the kit There are four main weakness with the current design that I would like to improve. They are: Ease of calibration - this is a big stum…

And @madgrizzle being the amazing being that he is is building one here:

Four Motor Maslow.. sort of

After many, many long months, lots of reworks, failed attempts, yada yada yada, I finally got my self-contained sled design using four motors running “half-decently” (i.e, only two motors are connected…so half). The premise is that by using motors at each corner of the sled, you can: Keep the sled vertical, thereby allowing simplified math using quadrilateral kinematics Improve performance in bottom left/right corners because there are motors pulling it into the corner. I don’t have the two …
