yep that would be why it works so well!
We just tell it to drive for x seconds foreward (I think its like 4.1 secs or something like that) then switch the linkage and drive x seconds left, switch, x seconds back, switch, etc etc. We managed 5 lines once, and 4 lines at least twice, but the rest of the time robots were in the way and we usually got three and crashed into someone. That's what we get for no sensors eh?? hahaha!
I'm quite proud that we managed that without any encoders and gyros and what-not. (We couldn't get encoders or we would of had them, they make things easy lol
)
PS. 1075guy, I'll have to meet you in person at GTR you always seem ot pop up when talking about our drive system lol.
