Re: PID on Jaguars is Illegal

Yea this is a poor decision by the GDC... I hope it will be reversed. There really is no reason why this should be illegal, why make us uses these advanced speed controllers that have processors and software capable of position/speed control when we are not allowed to use those capabilities. Why not just let use use a simpler/cheaper speed controller if we canot use the Jaguar to its full ability. Its not like it gives teams some unfair advantage, its makes tuning systems easier... I really don't get this one.
