1st two links don't work

What kind of feedback are you using for your mecanums? In a couple of the videos it looks like there is a decent amount of drift going on.

I guess I don't actually know what you mean about the drifting, if your talking about when we are driving it, it drifts to one side or if you are talking about when it stops and still goes or something else

The robot appears to rotate a bit when when attempting to drive straight in a number of the videos. I was curious what you guys use for feedback and I guess, what you use for controls as well.

Yep we fixed that problem, (at least it was when we shipped it), we just added a couple of values to the pwm motors in the programming just because all motors and gearboxes are not created equal. But ya it was driving straigt on Sunday before we crated our robot.

We have just one Joystick from the kit of parts for forward, backward, left, right, and diagnal. Two buttons for turning left and right, and a two way switch, switch is up arm goes up, switch down arm goes down, and switch in the middle arm stop

Prime.. Thats not even something we can claim. We are a cube, though.

Looks fantastic, good luck at regionals.

yep thanks for the luck and yep 2207 is the 329th prime number

If you couldn't tell from our videos and pictures our robot has mecanum wheels, we can knock the trackball off during Hybrid, can hurdle the trackball, can herd the trackball, and can place the trackball on the overpass at the end of the match.

It still drifts a bit in hybrid unless we fixed that and I was not aware because I was painting numbers upside-down on the bumpers.
