I’m using a vex v5 Clawbot in manual drive mode. It operates very quickly with default velocity. I know that the drive velocity can be adjusted using blocks programs. However, is there a way to change the default velocity (to stop the jerking), in manual drive mode? If the default brain program needs to change, how would I do that, and what program would I use to change it?
The only way I could think of would be to just move the joystick forward less. Without code, the forward movement will always be proportional to the joystick value, and 100% forward will be 100% speed.
The “Drive” program inside the V5 brain is not able to be changed other than the driving style (tank, arcade etc) and motor directions using the setup screens.
You can write you own drive code using the free programming software VEXcode. There are examples for the V5 clawbot included.
