Less experienced drivers tend to do better with more scrub. that is part of the reason our robots have more scrub at the start of the season than the end of the season.
IKE, I'll be curious to see how what you say unfolds... my goal is to make *any* driver look good by making the controls very intruitive for anyone to drive. I'd argue less experienced drivers need any intuitive help they can (e.g. just as Jake has mentioned with the field centric drive for team 1717), and should be able to drive any kind of well defined drive with a virtually identical feel to them.

I cannot completely back up this arguement... just yet, > ; )
but I believe this enough to take a leap of faith and do it.

Oh yes... do you want to share how driving with PID closed loop encoders help with turning performance and latency?
