It answers your question.

Ahh Okay, starting to grasp it a bit, basically for really accurate movement. It seems like you would only really use it in auto though, unless I am wrong.


My team this year struggled drive team wise, it was kinda unfortunate because we never got to see the robots ceiling competing wise...a lot of indecisive driving kinda held the team back. Sometimes I think about something to aid them with guiding the robot

You can use the super smooth motion of motion profiling + PID in more areas than just your drivetrain. Good implementation of motion profiling is what makes 971* or 254's** arms and such so... organic in their movement.

*As well as some other software magic.
** As well as blue powdercoat
