This will likely have to be a programming fix unless anyone has any other ideas because it will be a matter of limiting the reverse power down to what the forward power is outputting.

You may want to try recalibrating the Jaguars. The calibration procedure allows you to readjust the Jaguar's response to input signals, allowing you to avoid transforming the signal in code (which I suspect is the fix you may attempt to implement). Standard FRC applications generally do not necessitate recalibration, but given the extreme nature of your application this may come in helpful. For directions, see pages 13 and 14 of this document. "Full-forward signal" and "full-reverse signal" refer to throwing your joysticks forward and backwards.

We believe that we have found the other issue. While trying to drive a couple of days ago, we discovered that one side would stop while the other would keep going full throttle. This problem only seemed to present itself when the robot was pushing against something (ie. a person). We now believe that the gear box could have been assembled incorrectly and is therefore causing issues when the motors come under load.

Note that the issue may not necessarily have been an incorrectly assembled gearbox, but an inappropriate gearing. I noticed you posted on the thread, but just to reemphasize the point, see this post. |
