Question about coding with a 6m base

VEX V5 General Discussion
#1

For auton specifically, would yall recommend coding the base in 3 motor groups (front motors, middle motors, back motors), or another way?

#2

I would recommend 2 motor groups, a left side and a right side. This will allow the robot to turn when only one of them is running.

Whereas a front middle back will only be able to move forward and backwards as motors on each side will run in equal strength.

Our team also has a third that includes all drive motors so the drive forward and backward sections have minimal drift. Works well

#4

I use a smartdrive to program.

#5

I power all motors individually, it’s worked pretty well to this point
