Re: Measuring RPM

Another option would be for the speed to be controlled by a dial on the driver's station. You could play with the dial as needed, even during the match, if you are having issues.

Even if you do not decide to use this method in competition, it might be a good way to figure out what speed you want in the first place and then use a Bang-Bang controller or PID loop to control on-field.
