Re: Mecanum drive cartesian problems
Sounds like your joystick axes are switched in the code. The rotation should be [-1,1], I'm not sure if positive goes clockwise since I don't have a drive base to test it with yet, but...

Cartesian is mostly used with gyro. I would recommend just trying polar for now, until you have a gyro set up.

With cartesian and gyro set to 0, the robot constantly thinks it has yet to rotate at all. So as a result, things might get wonky.
