Re: Mecanum Troubleshooting

Might depend on the weight. If your battery, compressor, cRIO, and power distribution are all on one end of the robot, I'd say you'd need to move one or more of them to the other end, if possible. If you're already fairly balanced, but having an arm out causes you to curve, a gyro combined with PID might work.
