Field-Oriented Mecanum Drive

Team 190 did a field oriented control system with mechanum drive for the 2k4 competition. One of the most important things is keeping all 4 wheels on the ground at all times. I wasn't too involved with the system that year, but some of the others on the team might be able to fill you in.

Thanks. I got an email from Mason (190 alum, do you know him?) about it and he gave me some good tips. Looked really cool in '04 (or was it '05? or both?).

Looks nice. We got pretty decent field-oriented control with a magnetic compass last year. (Although the bot went crazy every time we drove by this one locked door in the hallway at school.)

Yea, was 2k5, I was getting years confused.
