This problem is real and I saw it happen last week The good news is that our programmer and a mentor were working on it when I went to the work session today. Well, they were not working on the current surge but were trying to control the acceleration to limit slip. This is where Labview really shows it's promise. Our programmer found several pre-built VI's that can take the joystick input and filter it to give a nice acceleration profile that will limit slip and also as a plus control the current spikes to the Jags. The VI's are tuneable so you can play with them to get the feel the driver is happy with. Thank you LABVIEW. This would have been a mess to do with procedural code last year. I know that some teams are trying to get a velocity measurement from a wheel and encode on the floor and then use the encoders on the gear boxes to have a traction control system. It's a complex solution. Acceleration control is simpler but not as good.
