Re: Swerve drive with automatic rotation?
We have the 4 top buttons of the joystick act as rotation setpoints. It makes it very easy for our driver to get our collector to the right orientation for the tube. A drive mode that moved in the direction of travel could be pretty easy to implement and could be another option for tube pickup.
Also note that we don't use the arcade and strafe control interface instead we have our left joystick do robot x and y velocity and the right one controls rotation.
