Switching between high-level controllers

Press X to switch between the different high-level controllers in the order:

ackermann - swerve

Backward Ackermann Steering

Press the BACK button, to change to the backward ackermann steering. You have to be in
ackermann steering mode and in manual mode, to do so. To switch back, press BACK again.

The backward ackermann steering controller is the same as the normal ackermann steering
controller, with the difference, that the controller suggests the back of the robot as front and
vice versa. This means, that if one gives forward command, the robot actually drives
backward and steers with the back wheels. This is very useful when driving backwards.
