Ether, what exactly are you trying to get us to test? We were able to pull back about 80-75% on the joystick before we noticed any distance change. We still know the front wheel is slipping. We're pretty happy with the setup as it is, since we can meet all of our design goals and more. We won't be doing too many more changes to the shooter configuration. Once we get some other systems improved, we will be adding light sensors and white lines to the wheels so we can do bang-bang speed control and more precisely control our distance.
