Re: How do you do it?

So are you saying that it is bad to have the infamous
Code:
pwm01 = p1_y;
pwn02 = p2_y;
lines that have been used in my code in the past? I'm thinking the velocity control stuff is really cool, but overkill for anything but auton.

If I did use the velocity control (which I now fully intend to implement this year) I would use a lookup table for joystick values matching to velocity settings. But like I said, that seems a bit overkill.

A little off-topic, but I have to teach a newbie this year, and I want to do some really advanced stuff. Should I walk him through it at the expense of getting it done, or do I go as fast as I can like I would if I was doing it by myself, and explain later? I just see advanced programs hard to do when I am programming to teach.
