Re: Unique ways of controlling your robot (driving)

we attempted a mechanum drive this year but never got the strafing to work right. but we had forward backward on the left y axis and left / right steering on the right x axis (along with strafing on the left x axis but that didn't work like i said) and it made it very easy to drive strait since you could tweak the direction with your right hand and just keep ur left at the speed you like.

i recommend people try this cause its nice and very intuitive
