Clutch Connections
#3
This issue is still bothering me.  I have no problem with the architecture of Pypilot or the implementation that Sean has outlined above.  I just don't which way to design my system.  Sean has a video of a steel boat with the motor driving the wheel via a belt.  I can't see any sort of tensioner in the video. 

I would like to know what people are doing to disconnect the drive from the wheel when they need to steer manually.  I didn't get any replies to my earlier thread on clutches so I assume that not many people are using a clutch.  Does the wiper motor turn freely when the wheel is turned?  I haven't actually tried that. 

I would really like to know what others are doing to solve this issue.
