The programming team beat our collective heads against the compiler most of last week before finding the spot where the PID code was stubbornly using 8-bit arithmetic and overflowing. Today, while finally tuning the parameters, I found myself fighting the Victor deadband and the asymmetric response of the window motor.
The biggest hurdle to overcome is the simple fact that the robot isn't finished yet, so programming it is largely an exercise in faith that it's being wired the way we expect it to be.
