To me the driver, it feels like there is a "delay" in the system. Our programmer had good intentions by putting a traction control system in, but it make the robot intolerable to drive. How did your teams solve the control conundrum? Any suggestions for us? Thanks!
Well, first could you tell us how you're doing traction control?
