Little late, but last year around this time, I was getting into FRC programming, and one of our mentors and one of his friends were working on a gyro for our robot. At the time I had no idea what a PID loop or a derivative was, as I was only in algebra 2. They started to explain the PID loop to me, it didn't make to much sense at the time. Now that I have taken part of Calculus, along with your explanation, a PID loop makes much more sense. Knowing this, will make Calculus more fun for me, knowing how to apply it now!
