After that, is this an FRC robot or something else? If you are, there's a nice method in WPILib called mecanumDrive_Cartesian that will resolve the motcrs from joystick axes for you. If you are not using WPILib, then you can still look at that code to find the math. |
I have omni wheels.
So you are saying I have to put them in a 45 degree orientation, and no other way like controlling the speed of each motor?
Looks like I have made a mistake going for omni wheels. I was told that omni are very similar to Mecanum.
