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?
James,
This activity seems like it would be very "high effort, low reward" compared to other developments an FRC team could be doing.

I'm going to assume you're going to do some driver drills... if your team isn't the type of team that does driver drills, you're probably not capable of doing what you're describing anyways.

Training drivers isn't that hard. If you're going to run some driver drills you're going to quickly move past the part of the learning curve where this software would matter anyways.

Maybe I'm under-estimating the reward, and over-estimating the effort required for meaningful result.
