Re: Holonomic Drive System Issues, Robot Drives Diagonally...
The way we do it is with driver practice. To be able to pivot you have to give the robot some rotation (in our set up the x axis of the drivers right hand) and move the robot in an arc which is to keep the y constant while moving the x from positive to negative (this happens on the left stick).
We were also trying to figure out if the driver could drive around the minibot pole while holding orientation to the pole. This is not easy in our current control scheme but possible you have to make a circle with left joystick and hold a constant rotational velocity with the right one.
This is all with field centric control. Without that the first move becomes much harder while the second is much easier.
