Re: Most Graceful Mecanum Robots?
The standardized way to do mecanum drive comes from remote control aircraft, particularly helicopters. 2 sticks: A_y is y movement, A_x is x movement, and B_x is rotation. This leaves B_y open for a "throttle" typically, in this case a climber would make the most sense.
Also, if you square your inputs while maintaining the sign of the initial value, your driving becomes much more graceful. Cubing your inputs is often too much.
Typically, in mecanum years, I train my team's drivers to:
1: Rotate around a point while facing it, this is a very common task in-game when aligning the robot to anything.
2: Travel in a straight line while rotating half speed. Requires very good orientation.
That way, you never need to use field-oriented drive, and you never need to worry about gyro drift killing your endgame.
