Re: pic: 308's Shredded mini CIM pinion

And despite having one motor less on one corner, the bot still drove straight! It's all due to the fact that each encoder rate is controlled with a PID relative to the driver's inputs. Additionally, a PID is used with our current gyro angle and desired angle. The result is a robot that fights back on it's own when you apply an external force!
