Any parking strats that I could use?

Match mirrors with the car in front, turn your wheel right 360, reverse at a 45° angle, then turn your wheel left to pivot.

& take this logic but hold the steering wheel at the bottom if you’re pulling a trailer!

Oh of course, why didn’t I think of that, thank you!!!

Just drive into it… also don’t try and hit a spin move while doing this or your aligner will shatter :skull:

Double park mech using your preload makes double and single park very quick and easy. I’ll link a vid and photo if needed, but you’d need to build it and it’s not really a strategy.

I’m not sure what country you live in, but taking up two parking spots is unwelcome and sometimes illegal.

If it’s an automatic, put it in park. If it’s a manual, pull the handbrake and put it in either first or reverse, depending on the slope of the ground (if you’re parked uphill use first, downhill use reverse). Make sure it’s off before you put it in gear or else it’ll stall, which is bad for the car…

I tried but I couldnt figure out the double park because my bot is kinda built as a basket bot, so I couldnt find a spot on it and how to do it because it takes a long time and my last copetition is in on saturday febuary 7th .
