Re: What is the best way to use a FRC game simulation?

I've always wanted to use a simulation to test code. I have a simulation that I am working on with a simple 6 wheeled robot and dynamic friction (static friction doesn't work yet). We found that our real robot exhibited a certain behavior, and I was able to pretty much see that behavior on my simulation (I believe that I would have been able to see the behavior more accurately if static friction worked in my model). What I want to do next with it is to write some software encoders for the bot and maybe a gyro or so and then program in PID loops or other more hackish solutions to see if that would fix the handling problem. And maybe test out Autonomous mode.
