Mecanum Drive Problem..
Hello.
We wrote a mecanum drive code of our own. The outputs have been checked and they're correct, but for some unknown reason sometimes the robot changes directions while we are driving (mostly while we are driving on the side "mecanum drive").
In addition, certain wheels spin slower than others, and when we spin in place the robot jumps instead of driving smoothly.
Are these problems common? do you have any ideas how to solve them?
Thanks
Team Artemis#3083
