Are you certain about this? I would think they would still show up per WPILib... I am likely wrong though.

As for tuning PID... I think we need to release some directions on how we do it... that or Omar should put his method out there. We spend maybe a couple hours tuning it and then we play with values a little here or there as needed but typically we get it right pretty quick. I'll see if I can't get a student to explain the method they use.
