But, your robot doesn't move when you give it a small value, because of friction and other factors. In '99 we did some tests with our robot, and you had to give it something to the effect of 145 to get it to move from a stop. So, we programmed in a deadzone from 117-137, and then starting at 138, we scaled the values from 145 to 254.
