Re: Drivetrain Control Systems

This year we decided to create a new control system. We bought a flight controller joystick and mapped the thrust to power, while the right joystick controls rotation and translation values. So if the thrust = 0 and the right joystick is moving, the robot does not move. But if the thrust = 1 and you move the joystick, the robot travels with 100% power to the victors.
