Re: 2015: Year of the Mecanum
The code in labview is a canned VI. The only problem that I have had to help teams with is many younger teams make the rotation the throttle axis. Most of the time I have them switch to a button switch statement for turning and it works out fine, some still like other axis turning methods and it can be worked through with the Get axis. Our team has decided to use Mecanum since the no defense is in play and we might try to go for the stack in auto. Mecanum will work out nicely for strafing left or right and picking up as long as you use a gyro for drift. The only initial issues we are concerned with is the frame spacing for the totes and going over the scoring platforms. We think 8" HD's will be fine enough to prototype though.
