Desmos Interactive Ball Trajectory Calculator Thing

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/lbcqj1ei1q

After seeing all of the math people had done about the trajectories the balls follow (thanks to Ether and everyone else), I wanted to consolidate all the different aspects in a visual representation. This graph is completely customizable, from angle and exit velocity, to the distance that the boiler is from your bumpers. All of the math is pretty straightforward, albeit probably not the most efficient/organized. I know it might be a bit late in the build season for some teams, but I still thought it would be a good thing to share.

If there are any questions or things I did wrong or things I should add feel free to let me know.
