How difficult would it be to swap the hot motor with one on the other side, and see if the problem follows the motor or stays on the same side.



You haven't said yet, but if the problem is manifesting itself as undesired behavior while driving (and not just an observation made while the bot was on blocks), and if you are unable to identify (or correct) the root cause, you may be able mitigate it by using a gyro (about which more later).




The vehicle drives great in every which direction except for strafing along the X axis. Our chassis is a custom built one that we forgot to implement ease of access to (terrible but hey learning experience).

We're going with CAN mode (which I'm not too terribly sure how to set up) on the Jags so we can implement encoders for Auton mode, and we tried implementing a gyro today but it didn't work out so well. It's wired up but I'm not sure how to code it. The mecanum drive block has a Gyro input but I don't know what to put into it. We have driven it on ground and it's great except for X-axis strafing.

Dexterium, would you mind if you posted an example of plugging the gyro into the block? Do you have to initialize the gyro in begin.vi?
