Re: Swerve drive with automatic rotation?
last year we had crab drive and had this really complicated function that allowed you to move the robot in the direction you move the joystick. no matter how the robot was oriented it would drive that direction in a straight line. it made it extremely easy to drive. the only time we had problems was when the steering chain came off. we just had to reset the "tophat" encoder for the steering when that happened though. no problems with the gyro drifting...
