Re: Question on Motor Bias

We have found that the wheels, really the motors, go faster while going backwards. The victors can be calibrated or your programming team can create an auto calibrator for the victors. We did last year, it was cool, and pointless.

Trimming is extremely hard with the joysticks, im assuming, and I read in an earlier thread that a team modified their joysticks by putting stronger springs in their joysticks. This made them less sensitive and a lot easier to control.

Good Luck
Jacob
