After you get the simulation running, there are a lot of ideas on chiefdelphi if you search. Here are a few things to try:
- Shooter speed control: bang-bang vs. PID
- Arm control: use an encoder or potentiometer with a PID controller to control an arm to pre-set posititions.
- Autonomous: use wheel encoders and a gyro to keep track of distance and heading. Use PID to keep your robot driving straight and to drive a set distance.
- Autonomous: control your autonomous routines through some sort of script

Great idea
what is bang-bang?
and how does the algorithm of driving straight with PID works?
Thx for the help
Is there a thread with all of these ideas in one place?
