Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift Technical Binder 2015

Getting good simulation is the next big thing I think for FRC robots. Its hard to build a general sim for everyone, but even just having a simple backend that's extendable is a great start, especially since most FRC robots can be simulated with fairly basic physics. An elevator can be simulated without any calculus as long as you have a brake, or you lift counterbalance well. And even the calculus to simulate gravity is not very difficult. I really like how the Python port did this, and I wish someday that could be ported to the official languages as well. But without dynamic typing, it becomes a lot harder to do the way they did it.
