I'm looking for a team that would be interested in coding this up and trying it out, and collaborating with me to work out the bugs and add features, either as a learning experience or possibly for competition use.

It seems to work in a simple simulation but I don't have a good plant model of the vehicle dynamics and no access to target hardware.

Post here or PM me if interested.

Thanks.

I made some corrections and additions, added a lot more explanation, and posted it here.

I'm still looking for a team that would like to collaborate with me on developing and testing this.
