Re: Has anyone gotten weird results from the mecanum drive?

the bot doesn't strafe. Instead, the bot just goes forward, backward, and spins.
Is it a problem on my end, or on FRC's end?
Yes! We have the exact same problem on our 2010 robot when moving to mecanumDrive_Polar()!

One quick fix is to use mecanumDrive_Cartesian() with the x and y axes as input and a fixed 0 degree angle input. Not ideal though. We have some custom magnitude and direction code for our controller.

Not sure if this issue is our code or 2011 wpilibj. I'll be looking into it this weekend.
