I would recommend scaling down the default mecanum turn rate in the code. I found that multiplying the rotation value by 0.4 worked for us. Anything more had us accidentally throwing totes. It increases your robot's stability by a lot without reducing your overall mobility. Also, if you don't use field-oriented drive, it will help a lot to simplify driving so you can better focus on being precise.

We had an over all losing record this year. When I look at kid's faces, they don't give a rip about that. I see excitement about the next event and talking about improvements for next year. Winning is nice, but that is not the reason I do what I do. - wilsonmw04 [more]
