Re: Mecanum Question about strafing.

Thank you all for the responses. We did attempt to play with the gyro, but with no success. However! We realized that the wheels weren't moving in the right direction when they were strafing. What we had were the 2 front wheels moving in the same direction and and the 2 back wheels moving in the opposite direction. What we really needed were the opposite wheels, top left & bottom right, to be moving in the same direction. So when we figured that out all we did was switch the pwms in labview and now it strafes beautifully!
