During the autonomous round our robot moves very slow and we want to speed that up. Our motors are on a drivetrain and I set the drivetrain velocity to 100 pct in the code but it made no difference. Does anyone have an idea as to why that is and how we can fix it? It would be greatly appreciated
This sounds like a classic tradeoff between torque and speed. You can sacrifice torque to gain speed by using gears in your drivetrain. A bigger gear on the motor and a smaller gear on the wheels will give you more speed at the expense of torque. You likely have more torque than you need given a flat playing surface so it is an acceptable tradeoff.
