Re: Flywheels and Shooter Wheels
Thanks for the link to that thread, Ether. I especially liked the clear description of feed-forward, including your diagram.
We're heading to our second regional (Buckeye) tomorrow, and will implement some (wish we could do all) of the ideas in this thread. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.
Even if we don't have time to implement most of these improvements during competition, I now have more ideas for off-season projects for the team.
