Re: Programmers on the Drive Team

i am primary driver this year, (not a programer) Really the only thing that our programer aded to the drive is a 50% slowdown on the drive for when getting rcs of the step. We are not even using a gyro on our mecnum drive this year. We had one that worked but i felt that it was just not needed. It almost made the drive feel like it was unnatural. The drive is so much more fluid without it.


On another note, last year i had a button to reverse the front and back of the bot. We shot one direction and picked up the other direction. It was a nice function to show off but it became disorienting to drive with, i always forgot witch way it was going to go if i had been stopped for to long. Never used it much.
