Forklift project with mecanum wheels HELP

[adra]

For a quick demo, you might be able to get away with a "bang-bang" controller that simply turns on wheel power when the speed is too low, and turns it off when the rate is too high. For best results, you'll want some form of PID control (look it up, there are a lot of good explanations out there).

Do all teams here (going on mecanum wheels) use a close loop control system with a velocity feedback from wheels?
Or your suggestion is just for this case?

P.S. I dont want to control the speed unless strictly necessary??
