Easing into top speed

[WizenedEE]

Lots of teams made programs that would give their robot a lower acceleration, especially for Lunacy. Basically what you do is have a PID loop control the speed, and have the joystick as the setpoint.

If you're using the CAN bus, there should be an automatic voltage ramp built in to the jaguars, but I haven't really looked at it.

However, this late in the season, it's probably best to just tell the drivers to be more careful, IF you think it's bad for the robot.
