Re: paper: Talon, Victor884, Victor888, and Jaguar speed vs torque tests

Nice work Ether,

if its not too hard to do, it would be great to see a plot taken all the way to stall and show the Current drawn for Highest PWM, for the FRC approved speed controllers.

I suspect many/most robots are not designed to operate in the optimal range, but are driven to operate in the extreme regions, so it would be a great teaching tool to show the inefficiency when operating in the extreme, and therefore the importance of good design.

This would also show the Jag cutting out way before a Vic does. Though the 2013 Jags apparently will not have a current limit?
