Ok so I switched from a 200 rpm 4m direct drive(84:36) to a 6m 300rpm(blue motor cartridges 36:72) about 4 weeks ago and my reason for doing this was to have a faster and more powerful drivetrain. I hadn’t considered the coding challenge beforehand since vex doesn’t currently have a drivetrain template for 6 motor drivetrains, and now my problem is coding a six motor drivetrain in auton. I’ve tried many different codes in python and block but none seem to work or make my robot move at all. Brain downloads code just fine, but the auton code doesn’t work. I don’t know if I configured the motors wrong or if there’s problems with my brain, but ever since moving to this new drivetrain, my code for my singular motors driving my wall stake arm and intake hasn’t been working either. For context, I have two different buttons to make each motor go forward and in reverse. I’ve tried to configure it in the motor settings and in the code, but every time I press one of these buttons, the code makes it go only one way and when I press it to go the other way, it goes in the same direction, with difficulty though. I have no idea if I did something wrong or if there’s problems with my software but any help is greatly appreciated
without seeing all the code what can we do to help ?
Blocks or text ? Once you move to text you can create a drivetrain with more than 4 motors. Search the forum and you will find a workaround to do this in blocks that I posted a few weeks ago.
