Yea, I was close to squirrel's idea with a slightly different
idea that was totally ignored. Jspatz's damping idea looked like an entire rework that introduced as many questions as it had answers. But that's neither here nor there at this point. The math and the arguments solidify that a simple damping mechanism is probably the simplest way forward from both a technical and a holistic program perspective. Personally, at this point, I'd much rather implement the damping mechanism myself rather than expect the numbers FIRST puts out are perfect and without tolerance. We still need test time on Thursday though. I don't exactly have a "springy finger" or "squishy surgical tubing" down to a mathematical science yet.
