this build was more to test out logic i am planning on using in an actual mecanum drive car i am building in my vocational school. if you do not know what mecanum drive is, it is a system of wheels that allow a vehicle to drive in any direction on a surface. here is a gif of someone driving a car that has mecanum drive:

cant host gifs off of google apparently

(thanks andrew or whoever fixed the webcode)

this car really doesnt work that well, but the wheels rotated in the right directions, meaning that the logic i was using would work in an actual mecanum car

instructions:
throttle 100 to prevent bouncing
pitch and roll for translational movement
yaw for rotational movement
