An easy-to-use, highly-maneuverable drive system is at the heart of a successful FIRST Robotics Challenge (FRC) robot.  Omnidirectional drive systems provide motion in the Y axis (forward-backward), X-axis (strafe), and Z axis (rotating about it’s center axis). Each “degree of freedom” is independent, meaning that the overall robot motion is comprised of a “mix” of motion in … Continue reading Field-Oriented Drive (FRC)
