Chris,
The content of this paper proves that you're an engineering ninja. You taking the time to write and post it proves you're a class act. I already knew both of those things...
Are you trying to prove to your mechanical team that you have too much time on your hands and they should hurry up and finish the robot?
Thanks for sharing. Hope everything is going well for you guys up there.
I can't wait to see what happens when you cross a Huskie with a Chief.
I urge everyone to take a look at what Chris has posted. Mathematically modeling FRC robots is an interesting topic, and to see it implemented practically is very cool.
On behalf of Mechanical Designers everywhere, I want all programmers to do this... maybe then, they'll stop bothering us.
"The robot will be ready when it's ready!"
Take Care,
-John
