Dandelion PWM Traction System first Raw Terrain tests

Hi, we move on on the new PWM traction system and interface for Dandelion, installing all the new circuits and elements into it.

The new chassis improvements on the main rover door access (thanks to Carlos and Oscar), makes things more easy to fit into it, but we still need to clean up cables and components places on it as we can see in the next pictures.

On the left, Juan Carlos Gallardo (our Electronics Guru and new team member) is helping with the assembly, but also with his help we was able to provide a better power scheme to the PWM driver, the embedded computer and the motor system.

On the picture above, all almost in place...nice cable spaghetti right :-)

Next picture shows our new shiny motors in place and the assembly of the wheels:

Here a bigger picture of the team members working in other areas, like the new concept rover code name "Rhexalion" (more about it soon ;-) ...

Next a simple little test with wheels on the air:

And then, to a more "Moon" Like terrain!!

It was a very exiting couple of working sessions, with a very good end controlling Dandelion remotly forward, backward, left and right, showing part of the whole rover potential and of course the new PWM traction system.
It still need a proper balance system, but we even now can see the potential of recovering from a tip over and the excelent wheel design for a Moon like terrain.

We are very exiting and we hope to be able to show more about it soon.

Cheers to all!, and keep the good work Team REAL!
