Bang-bang... never knew what to call that method. We did try that method at first though it didn't quite work as well for us as the PID. I believe it was primarily because our shooter wheel did not have much inertia (just used the plastic kit wheels that we turned off the tread of).

Definitively something to revisit though. Thanks!
