Re: mecanum/holonomic/omni drive

The Holonomic drive never worked for our team, instead what I did was i established each of the 4 wheel motors independently and set values from the joystick. Speed was set using the "Set" method and wired straight from the joystick axis values. Naturally, there is an algorithm to flip motor speeds appropriately to allow functionality of the Mecanum Wheels.

Using this method allows a side of the robot to be front, as in ours, and also allows those who don't like coordinates to get the job done. Just thought that that idea should be broadcast, and good luck!
