Re: Drivetrains in Ultimate Ascent

Our mecanum wheels have encoders for speed PID control, and a gyro to correct for any rotational drift. Also, we have "suspension" modules on our wheels so that they have equal force pushing down. What we've seen is that if somebody is pushing us, we have enough power to slide away, and there's enough room for our experienced driver to drive around them. We've gotten pretty good at avoiding defense.
