Exactly! Always good to go "Umm I need to do this, looks like that library does that, oh wait it won't work in all cases".

There are few things that I hate more than debugging code "What does this do?" "Dunno, think it turns the robot". /sigh.

A well tuned PID is a thing of beauty. Most people that hate PID have not taken the time to dial them in.
