I read through the article posted and I am trying to make heads or tails of it. I do not understand how exactly a PID loop will allow me to synchronize the movements of the left and rights drivetrains so that the robot drives in a straight line. PID does however seem to be an excellent way of defining the movements during autonomous to place the ubertube.
More questions:
- How do I use PID to make the system drive in a straight controllable line while not sacrificing response times?
- Is PID a good choice for autonomous?
- Is all of this overkill for what I am trying to achieve?
