Hi there, I'm working on my senior project (a motion control system) and am just trying to scout the mobile robotics community for some basic info. If you've every worked on a mobile robotics project, could you please take a moment to answer some of the following?

1.If your robot has wheels, how are they mounted?
[ ] Axle mounted [ ] Independently [ ] A combination [ ] N/A

2.If your robot has wheels, what are their diameters, approximately?
[ ] Under 6 inches [ ] A foot or two [ ] 1m or larger [ ] N/A

3. Your host can most closely be described as:
[ ] A low-power ASIC that runs an RTOS
[ ] A Windows PC
[ ] A Linux PC
[ ] A Macintosh PC

4. Most of the software on your robot is written in which language? Check any that apply.
[ ] C / C++ [ ] Matlab [ ] Java [ ] Python

5. You would like to interface with a motion control package in what way:
[ ] Software requests, Low-level bit-stream out
[ ] Software request, Software objects returned
[ ] Bit pulse signal, low-level bit-stream out
[ ] Bit pulse signal, software objects returned
 
Ok, I'll play
I'm guessing most peoples answers on this forum will generically be the same, but I'm not sure we're really your target audience!

Think you're more likely to get the kind of answers you want speaking to companies, not the majority of hobbyists!
