I for one am very happy that the PDP now has this feature.
After so many years of this I am glad that a function that can help with this is actually legal on the robot on the competition field and basically included.

In past years any attempt by myself to determine these factors was actually limited by my ability to get someone to leave the robot alone long enough to do the measurements or by the fact that I couldn't legally put my gear on the competition floor. Now the tools are there one merely needs to use them.
