Re: Nullifier Button: Yay or Nay

We actually programmed our custom stop button to activate a PID control loop to keep the robot in one position. If someone bumped into us, the encoders would measure how far we moved and try to move us back into position.

In pre c-rio days it was a handy feature when doing public demos... you could let a kid drive your robot while a team member kept their hand over the stop button.
