Yeah, most people miss the fact that the OEM says the CIM motor curves can be +/- 10% (at least at the free speed point).

Re: Mecanum Question about strafing.
 

Thank you all for the responses. We did attempt to play with the gyro, but with no success. However! We realized that the wheels weren't moving in the right direction when they were strafing. What we had were the 2 front wheels moving in the same direction and and the 2 back wheels moving in the opposite direction. What we really needed were the opposite wheels, top left & bottom right, to be moving in the same direction. So when we figured that out all we did was switch the pwms in labview and now it strafes beautifully!

Re: Mecanum Question about strafing.
 

Just curious, did you have the wheels incorrectly selected in the code? (For example, Front right and Back right were swapped in the code)

Re: Mecanum Question about strafing.
 

See the thing is, the defaulted mecanum code had each motor set to a pwm already, but that's also where the problem was for us. A simple switch of the pwms in the code fixed it up nicely, though.
