IFI mecanum code
My team has an IFI controlled mecanum chassis sitting around. it drives, but the code is a mess (it has 2 motors reversed and a couple scenarios make it not drive as it should).

I have NO idea on how IFI C++ works... the closed I came was learning pBASIC to control Boe-Bots in my PLTW DE class... and that was sending pwm pulses two 2 servos (650-850). I also know labview but i know that is not very relevant

the student that wrote the code in fall 08 is long since left the team and the mentor that helped out is not here a lot...

the controller is a 2005 model (based on other parts donated to team by 554). all the victors are 884's (of various vintages) on pwm's 1-4. if it matters, it uses 4 cims and an IFI PD board.

anybody have some tweakable code or advice on where to begin; I don't even know what software I need... I wasn't a programmer back in 08 (my rookie year).
