In a perfect world, a perfectly tuned super-fast PID control would be better than just about anything else. However, an open-loop voltage control scheme works well enough for what we need to do in FRC without requiring any tuning at all. This control has gotten 95 in the top 5% Hybrid OPR.
I think this is definitely a case of "the best is the enemy of good enough." At least for my team this year.
