Re: pic: Reverse Drive

I hope this is not straying too much but no one has mentioned the wire length. I made the mistake this year of having the wires to the wheel motors all different lengths. We used mecanum wheels and a joystick control, no encoder, and I believe the gyro was only used to orient the control before a match. While we seemed to go straight in autonomous it is hard to drive straight.

Does the wire length really make much difference, enough to be the OP's issue?
