But we'd need information like the motors powering it, the gear ratio, the approximate center of gravity and weight, etc. before we could help with that.
I'll have to get back to you on that. All I know so far is that it is ~62 inches long, using a window motor and the gear ratio is pretty big. Yea, no so informative. I been programming the whole time so I have no idea Now I don't trust WPI's PID loop (sorry guys) so I'll be writing my own from scratch
