Re: motor controller profiles

I re-ran the tests with the motor controllers properly calibrated and using the correct classes. the graphs have been updated but there was no significant change. I hope this data will be useful. also keep in mind that the values will change depending on the motor, gearbox, encoder, and battery life. These values are fairly arbitrary on their own and are mainly useful for seeing the comparison between the different types of motor controllers. For instance the dead zone around zero for talons seems to be significantly smaller than the the dead zone for the other 2.
