They're good, yes. It runs and drives on another code written by someone else who is no longer with the project, but the steering was inadequate, so we're attempting another set of code.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond, but outside of confirming the above, I'm not entirely comprehending what you're getting at. Again, I'm a wrench with enough computer know-how to get the code onto the Arduino, but our programmer is in China. "Joy pots" sound like fun, though.
I sent him footage of how it's operating and we're meeting online later today when we're both in daylight hours. This could get tedious, I realize.
You're the third person to point that out (see link above) and I completely believe that you're right about it, but when I tried changing that line in the old code it had no impact in the way the kart behaved. I'll be sure the change is in the next version of code, regardless. Thanks.
