Driving Forward Straight[VCS C++]

Hey Forum!

Me and my team have been preparing our autonomous for states a while now and as the programmer I have a big question. How do I make our drive go forward straight at a high speed(150-200rpm)? My problem is that when it starts it will sort of jerk to one side and the same thing when it stops. Once it’s driving it goes forward but at the start and end it will jerk of to one side. thanks for the help!

@Gary Patel do you have a gyro

This is the most basic, no-frills code available for just moving forward. No gyro, no encoders. If this doesn’t work, it might be a weirdly angled motor.

Left1.setVelocity(100, vex::velocityUnits::pct);
Left2.setVelocity(100, vex::velocityUnits::pct);
Right1.setVelocity(100, vex::velocityUnits::pct);
Right2.setVelocity(100, vex::velocityUnits::pct);

Left1.spin(vex::directionType::fwd);
Left2.spin(vex::directionType::fwd);
Right1.spin(vex::directionType::fwd);
Right2.spin(vex::directionType::fwd);

vex::task::sleep(3000); //or whatever time you want it to go for

Left1.stop();
Left2.stop();
Right1.stop();
Right2.stop();
