Re: Applications of dynamics in FRC

I am interested in seeing examples of teams using dynamics in motion profiling, initial design, or anywhere at all in the process of building their robots.

(I am doing this out of curiosity, rather than for help on my project if that makes any difference at all.)
971 does do some modeling as part of their software control. I'm not sure if they go through a model all the dynamics of a system or just model it as a MOI on the motor shaft. I know a few teams mentioned that they did some dynamic modeling with can grabbers in 2014.

Motion profiling has gotten more popular in FRC recently since some 254 and 971 mentors gave a seminar at champs that included the topic.
