Holonomic drive train and field-based control

Maybe next season I want to develop and test a new metric for FRC scouting: Bumper Quality Rating (BQR). BQR-5: The platonic ideal of FRC bumpers. ... BQR-0: Moderate to heavy use of duct tape. I believe BQR would outperform OPR as a predictor of on-field robot performance. - Nate Laverdure [more]

It can drive quite well, you would just have to account for any mechanical inefficiencies in your code and have a "robot-centric" control system. Just like any open-loop system, your driver would have to account for anything that goes wrong and anything that doesn't work properly.
