Programming Mecanum - Chief Delphi

By the looks, 1114 has already figured out both #1 and #2. They're still behind 71, who is just about done with their robot for the 2012 season, is getting driver practice for 2011, and is working on their robot designs for the 2013 water game. You're still way behind. - EricH [more]

Re: Programming Mecanum

Code for doing Mecanum with joysticks looks like this:

Code:

myRobotDrive.mecanumDrive_Cartesian(joy1.getX(), joy1.getY(), joy1.getTwist());

Optionally you can put the angle from a gyro in as the optional 4th parameter.

One possible problem is that some of the motors may need to be inverted depending on how they are configured. To determine that, put the robot on blocks and drive it with the joysticks and see what it is doing. You can call the

Code:

setInvertedMotor()

method on the side that is going in the wrong direction.
