Mecanum Wheel Setup Help

[Dylan5019]

We decided to go with a mecanum wheel drive system this year. However, when we got everything set up with the Holonomic VI we were able to spin and strafe but not actually move forwards and backwards.

Right now we are converting our X and Y axis to radians with ATAN2 then to degrees and using that for direction, and getting our magnitude by taking sqrt(X^2+Y^2). We wired a straight 0 to rotation. We hoped to see simple translational motion working. It's also possible that the orientation of the mecanum wheels is incorrect. whe have them set so that the rollers in the front are to the left and the rollers in the back are to the right. We tried the "X" pattern and the results were worse then curently


IDK if this is a mecanical or programming error, but hopefully someone will know. If you have experience with mecanum set up you can contact us by text messaging 918-406-8420. Thank You!
