PID Control

[matthewgkerr]

My rookie team has created their first cut at drive code. Currently, there is a lot of jerk motions and a lot of wheel spin. I'm quite impressed with what they have achieved so far, but i think there is a lot of room to improve. What I have been considering is using a PID controller. I have seen that this year there is a tutorial on the NI site to do just this. I was wondering what other teams were doing to achieve smooth controlled drive motion and if PID is a worth while path to go down? Thanks in advance.
