Re: Neat demonstration of proportional and PID control systems

Don't sell yourself short - I've seen some pretty amazing PID applications in FIRST. Remember that response is both torque and mass dependent, and as far as that goes he has a huge advantage (high torque for very low mass) that allows his motions to be much quicker than ours.
