Re: 6 CIM Drivetrains... What's Your Experience?

Ether, do you have a 'drag race' spreadsheet lying around (i.e. multiple d(t) scenarios on a single graph) with the proper modeling? I may have to cobble one together if not. I've poked through your acceleration models, but haven't found the time to make them more user-intuitive in a spreadsheet.

Such a spreadsheet could help a team make the decision of whether 6 CIM acceleration is worth it or not in a few different situations:
- Robot attempting to 'turn a corner' around defense (i.e. get ahead of a defensive bot by 0.8-1.0 'robot lengths' in order to be able to turn in front of the defender and zoom away towards the goal)
- Robot attempting to beat a defending robot to a specific spot with N number of seconds to spare in order to get a shot off quickly

It would also help the drivers understand the limitations & strengths of the robot so they can make smarter decisions when defending or being defended. The driver coaches could setup specific scenarios to help give the drivers better practice.
