Since we're only a second year team, those major programming tasks are quite a challenge to tackle. However, we aren't about to back down from a challenge!

In other news, you really want to do bang-bang control for your shooter speed. It's simpler to program, easier to tune, and gets your flywheel up to speed much faster than a PID.
