Victor controls

[Zuelu562]

I'm attempting to make drive code for our robot currently. We are planning to have our main drive run on a tank control, and our side drive mechanism run on the x-axis of the right hand stick after the right hand stick's trigger has been activated.

We're planning to use a victor for the side drive (a single motor). Would you use the Set method to run it or can you even control a victor via control if it's not a RobotDrive declaration? Relevant current code below.

TY in advance.

class RobotDemo : public SimpleRobot
{
	RobotDrive maindrive; // main drive system
	Victor crab; // sideways drive system
	Joystick stickone; // right joystick
	Joystick sticktwo; // left joystick

public:
	RobotDemo(void):
		// These must be initialized in the same order
		// as they are declared above.
		maindrive(1, 2),	
		crab(3),
		stickone(1),	
		sticktwo(2)

if (stickone.GetTrigger())
			{
				crab.Set(stickone.GetX);
			}

Yes, you can use Set(), even if it is not part of your drive system.

Also, make sure you include that code in your teleop loop.

crab.Set(stickone.GetX()) <- And include a () after GetX
