Re: PID for velocity control

Interesting solution, alan...

with our robot we just implemented the pid loop so that the motors corrected for a desired speed, and it worked fine (well that is until the mech. team decided to take electronics into their own hands and killed the wiring...). I dont think we did anything differently from a position correction, besides differentiating position before using it as the feedback.
