Re: Unique ways of controlling your robot (driving)
We do something rather unique to our drive system.
There are two joysticks. On one of them, we use both axis. The X axis translates the robot left and right, and the Y axis translates the robot forwards and backwards.
We only use one axis on the other joystick. This joystick is responsible for the rotation of the robot. By using both sticks together, the software places an imaginary point in space that the robot "rotates" around. However, this control system only works on an omni directional drive system.
