Re: Mecanum Encoders

The way I envisioned it, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that the gyro will capture the value of the angle that it is currently facing. This would work for any direction so that when you strafe, rather than having part of the robot swing out, the gyro will force the robot to maintain this header.

He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
