Re: Shooter consistency
our team was having trouble with encoders as well. Yes different battery voltages do matter when sending a value to a Victor because the value sent to the victor is the equivalent of a percentage of your current voltage. So to try to get a better measurement, I tried a last minute fix.
Wheel Motor Voltage = Value sent to Victor * Battery Voltage.
Therefore, Value Sent to Victor(Or other speed controller) = (End Voltage / Battery Voltage).
All you have to tune is the End Voltage that you want your wheel to have. Batter Voltage can be calculated (in Java) by instantiating a DriverStation object and using the getVoltage() method.
Same method should be in other API's.
It didn't give us 100% consistency but it did significantly improve it. There are of course other variables.

A solution will present itself, all you have to do is be ready to take advantage of it when it does. - James1902 [more]
