Re: The unplanned circle dance

I still don't know what caused our weirdness, but I'll add a little to this discussion.
We have 4-wheel independent swerve drive. We were spinning in circles for a couple seconds while the driver let loose of the controls. This means that the PID loops for the moduals had to be functioning normally. This leads me to believe that the driver station data was not being sent or was delayed.

Remember also that there are a lot of different potential causes for what you are observing and people are reporting. These could all be unrelated occurances.
