Seadou is an unknown quantity at this point
Forward and backward running at only .5 speed

Hey there, I am the assistant programmer at team 1997, and right now it is crunch time. I expect that I will be though of as another person asking for something to copy and paste. but i have a simple question.

We are running on mecanum wheels controlled by toughbox's and chain drive, we are feeding power through jaguars. when we have the robot propped up, and we test the voltage on all of the jaguars we get readings of 12v for all directions (strafe left, right, turn left,right etc) however when we go forward or backward it gives us only half the voltage on the output. I have gone over the code multiple times and I cant see anywhere that it says to halve the voltage for forward or backward directions.

If you guys need more information just ask me and thank for your input at this stressful time. Good luck to your team and I hope to see you guys at the competition.
