[Java-player-users] regarding setSpeed function of position2d

[H. S. F. <hsf...@gm...>]

Hi all,

 I have a problem with setSpeed function of position2d interface. I am using
it with Stage and my robot is defined as a car like robot in my Stage word
file.
 Considering the definition of

public void *setSpeed*(int speed,
                     int turnrate)

 from basic kinematics we have speed=TurningRadius * turnrate

 So if we put speed and turnrate as equal numbers the turning radius
must be alway 1m, which is not the case here.

 I came to the conclusion maybe here  another definition for turnrate is used.

 I appreciate if anyone helps me with this.

 Regards,
 Nathan
