Some
dubstep will make the video more awesome.
What are you expecting that is different with Talons regarding PID control? I believe that you guys mentioned that you were using CAN last year. I'm not too familiar with it, but if I recall correctly it does some of the framing for you regarding PID control. I guess that part will be different.
However, we used PID control last year for our drivetrain running 4 Talons. Proved to be accurate within 3 inches over a 100 inch drive if the count-to-inch conversion was accurate, and that was with little tuning on the drivetrain ("Test mode" only works for one motor at a time, and we relied upon it for rapid tuning). For FRC purposes, I can't imagine that non-linearity is that significant between, for example, a Talon or a Jaguar running CAN.
