Re: Mecanum Feedback

Hey,


The drive train isn't usable without any feedback. When commanded to drive straight, it moves in a kind of arc and I bet if the floor is big enough it'd do a perfect circle (probably motor bias).

Recently we broke an encoder so it'll be a few days until the new one ships in but in the meantime I can always to figure out how to implement the gyro.

Great advice, Thanks.
