We decided to add a 6 motor Drive Train to our robot. We already built it but ran across problems when we went to program it. We are using Vexcode V5. We currently have been using blocks but tried in Python as well and didn’t have any results. Does anyone know how to program this?
this is just simple tank control, and is just setting the motor percent to be the controller’s axis values.
(this is in VEXcode v5 pro with C++, but you can do something similar in python or blocks)
In VEXcode Python or C++, you can set up a drivetrain with more than two motors on each side, just not through the graphical configurator – just create a motor group for each side and pass those groups to the drivetrain or smartdrive constructor.
