Note to rookies:

Fast spinup and recovery times are strongly influenced by mechanical design: operating speed, motor(s) selection, gear ratios, wheel diameter, and moment of inertia of the load (including wheel and flyweight). With a proper mechanical design, you should be able to get fast spinup and recovery times with other controllers as well.
