The demo is written in the Python programming language and uses Panda3D (freely available at http://www.panda3d.org) for graphics and simulation.

Feel free to play around with it and let me know what you think. Best of luck to everyone in this year's competition!

great program. we had PID control for our arm last year, but it was really hard to explain to others how it worked. this program will be very useful for explaining things.
