Cutting down motor power

Designing for failure tends to encourage failure. Worrying about failure analysis during the competition can become a self fulfilling prophesy. Break your pots in the fall and learn how to keep them from breaking. - Mike Betts [more]

Re: Cutting down motor power

Another way is shown below, not perfect but the way you'd do it if you really did want to do integer arithmetic:

Code:

Lifter.lift1.set(Robot.oi.xBox.getRawAxis(1)*3/5);
Lifter.lift2.set(-Robot.oi.xBox.getRawAxis(1)*3/5);

This way multiplies by 3 and then divides by five. In integer arithmetic (especially division), the order of operations absolutely matters.
