Re: Learning Autonomous Mode?
When driving straight or in arcs the wheel slip should be negligible. When turning sharply it is different, but then the gyro is preferred over the encoders.
Story time: Back at Kettering (week one), I had no feedback on speed during autonomous. It had no compensation for drift, it just drove at X speed for Y distance and kicked. It was not reliable. After the competition, I tuned feedback to speed on each side. It now drove straight and had no issues of not moving when the battery was low. Use sensors. They make life easier.
