Regarding The Library And Variable Usage.
Okay, I was wondering if anyone has any idea why the WPILib uses doubles instead of floats. It makes more sense to me to use floats over doubles. I find it very "costly" to use 32 extra bits. Also, why are variables like PWM ints? Why not a short? Sure, if java had unsigned variables, I would have used uint_8 (unsigned byte) instead.
Now, keep in mind, this is an embedded system. It is not a good idea to spam usage of doubles IMHO. Even if we have like 64 mb of ram. I know, you can fill that up with over 6 million doubles, but it still bothers me.
