So, I'd like to hear from some people on here who have had past experience with this system! The main things that I'm worried about are pros and cons of the system, but I'd also love to hear anyone's personal experiences with using PID controllers!

Last year, 1519 used the PIDF control loops in the Talon SRX in our mecanum drive code, as well as for our elevator. We were very happy with its performance, both in teleop and autonomous. Our autonomous performance last year probably speaks for itself.

We'd be happy to provide more info -- look us up at one of the fall off-season events (we're planning to attend River Rage and Battle of the Bay) and we'll be glad to give you more details.

If we're selected as a Beta Test team this fall, we'll probably also have an "open house" event again this year (like the one that 1073 hosted for us last year!) and could provide more details at that time, too.

Lastly, if you want some personal help at one of your meetings, you're sufficiently close by that I could come over if you'd like.
