Re: How is velocity control supposed to work on the Talon SRX?

The issue here is that, as velocity PID is implemented in the Talons currently, P is useless. One must rely on the I term, because it is the only term which will actually help you get to your velocity goal based on changes in the system.
We followed Omar's advice this season and used pdf control. We got our shooter speed to +-.50 rpm of our goal. This has been the cleanest we've ever gotten.
