Control Problems

[Pittiho]

IN RESPONSE TO:
"When I encounter problems like this where I'm not sure if my logic or formulas are working I create some test cases on paper with real numbers and see what happens. When I do the math on the original code it appears to me that the steering is reversed - based on the comments! But I don't have a working robot in front of me to verify."



Hi my name is Holly, I am a mentor for team 1228, (the team with this problem) and I have taken your advice and plugged these numbers into the formula, and it seems like the formula creates the backward turning that we are experiencing...
If I put in a value for full power to the right (x axis=255) and neutral on fwd/rev (y axis=127). THe values that the program returns are (right motors=full power=255) BUT...that would make the robot go into a LEFT spin (correct)? Because the right wheels are in full forward motion?
