Re: [DFTF] Closing the loop on Wheel Velocity...

I'm not particularily up on the benefits of good quality control loops as our code on my old team looked something like this:

Quote:
x = Joystick.x/JOYMAX
y = Joystick.y/JOYMAX

leftMotor.Set((y+x)*100)
rightMotor.Set((y-x)*100)
The first version was written in 10 minutes by 1114's Programming mentor . But I digress.... What I wanted to make sure gets said in here is that as much as stellar control has the potential to help, a lot of the issues you are referencing are pretty blown out of proportion. e.x. A simple 6-wheel drive with reasonable weight balance will drive straight all on its own. Just wanted to make sure we remember that.
