Re: paper: Waypoint trajectory demo java applet

General idea could be applied to a robot by using a gyro and encoders to track (x,y) position on the field and running a PID loop, perhaps somewhat similar to line following. However, this code has not been tested with a real robot, and would probably need some modification for use in that purpose (I have a feeling that velocities would need to be controlled better). This applet should hopefully provide a starting point however.
