Re: Voltage Drop problems

Some teams have a program element that divides the pwm command by battery voltage, to boost shooter speed when voltage drops.

We have an encoder to detect shooter speed, and a closed loop speed control system.

You might also change your operating procedture so you stop all the other motors on the robot before using the shooter.
