Zig zag we go!

 

Today we focused on getting the mecanum wheels to function correctly. We created separate functions for motor control of each individual wheel. We then made a function that takes in a (x,y) pair and speed as input and accordingly makes the robot move forward, backwards, sideways or diagonally. In the video, we are demonstrating zig zag motion (diagonal movement).
