I’d like to know if there’s a mode that will keep the rover going straight down a drag strip with gyro/gps corrections. There are small devices built specific for this, but I’d like to keep Ardurover onboard. Otherwise, I need a second device for GPS logging. Thanks!
Acro mode will follow a heading with no steering stick input. Whether it’s sufficient to keep it on a drag strip I don’t know. I have run my rovers on running tracks and they do they pretty well.

set to acro mode, and just pull the trigger? can we setup “launch control” to limit tire spin?
No direct way I know of. You can play around with the MOT_SLEWRATE parameter maybe to prevent spin.
I was just reading the docs, and I think max accel is likely what I need. that’ll need some experimentation to get it right. I wonder how I could detect wheel slip
After just watching a couple YT videos of RC drag racing I can see why you would want steering control with heading hold

Yeah. Like the 218MPH one!
You need speed dependent steering rate. Lot’s of flipped cars from steering sensitivity.

Sounds like variable power steering. The faster the car goes, the less assistance. I should be able to do this in a Lua script.
