Re: robot speed
Last year our bot was somewhat "acceleration limited" because if we went full speed forward, followed by full speed backward, we would tip over for sure because our arm extended out so far and was rather heavy on the end. We ended up limiting acceleration in the code to prevent some of our less experienced drivers from tipping over completely.
So, next year, we definitely hope to be able to design a robot with a much lower center of gravity so we don't have that problem anymore. But that is one reason that a robot could be "acceleration limited."
