Tank Drive

This section will highlight how to code tank drive.

Tank Drive

Tank drive is another form of stick mapping. Each side of the drivetrain is controlled independently by its own stick.

def when_started1():
    RightDrive.spin(FORWARD) # Spin the motors to so we can adjust the speed later with the sticks
    LeftDrive.spin(FORWARD)
    while True:
        LeftDrive.set_velocity(controller.axisA.position(), PERCENT) # Set the left drive speed to the controller axis A (left y)
        RightDrive.set_velocity((controller.axisD.position()), PERCENT) # Set the right drive speed to the controller axis D (right y)
        wait(20, MSEC)

when_started1() # Call our loop

int whenStarted1() {
  RightDrive.spin(forward); // Spin the motors to so we can adjust the speed later with the sticks
  LeftDrive.spin(forward);
  while (true) {
    LeftDrive.setVelocity(Controller.AxisA.position(), percent); // Set the left drive speed to the controller axis A (left y)
    RightDrive.setVelocity(Controller.AxisD.position(), percent); // Set the right drive speed to the controller axis D (right y)
    wait(20, msec);
