Re: Transmissions
A software filter for the drive train is not a bad thing in itself, but a turbo button is not really the best solution. There is enough resolution in human movement of joysticks to be able to control any robot I have seen (We have a omniwheel holonomic drive with no feedback. It is likely one of the most difficult to control FIRST drivetrains that exists). All that is required is a good input/output curve. The only time a "turbo button" is actually neccesary is when the thing you are controlling actually has a wider raneg of outputs than you can reasonably input. The turbo button lets you effectively double your input range.
