Re: paper: Have you noticed that you don't get full speed in FTC Autonomous?

I guess we can agree to dissagree here.

My whole issue with the current behavior is that it's not consistent over the full range of requested speeds (or even close to the full range).

I originally discovered this problem when I was trying to calculate (based on requested distance and speed) how long a particular straight motion "should" take, so I could set a close timeout.

Imagine my surprise when a move of 10000 clicks at 70% "speed" (not power), took the same time at 80, 90 and 100% speed.

My money is still on an integer divide truncation error .
But I'll probably never find out.

Phil.
