Something other than PID
We use a shooter that is different than most of the robot out there. We call it a fling-a-pult. It is extremely accurate but looses force as battery voltage is reduced causing us to be short sometimes.
Unlike the standard wheeled shooters our two fisher price motors only run for a fraction of a second so PID really doesn't work. What we need is a good way to simply adjust the voltage applied to the shooter motors in accordance with the reduction in battery voltage.
We are using java, any good ideas.
