Re: For Team's Trying Mecanum Drive

I'm sure the WPI libs have the correct kinematic calculations happening, it's just that it took us a few entire days to get them working - we had a lot of general library/compatibility issues which I couldn't name specifically now, and when we did get them working, the drive was a little wonky, curving slightly to one side and a few minor inconveniences similar to that.

In addition, the library we created gives the user a much more custom control over the robot, with functions simplify not only driving, but collecting the necessary input for mecanum from joysticks, or gyros for a FOD system

At the end of the day our library is just an extra resource for teams using mecanum, that could end up simplifying their lives
