Fast Stop and Jerky need help

[Michael Fadaie]

This is our groups rookie year and currently I am the only programmer. I have programmed all of the tele code including the compressor and kicker. So, far all I have in auto is that it moves forward one second back one second and then it will kick and retract. Along, with the compressor working.

Currently, I have two problems and there is no way that my current labView skills will be able to solve them. Well, at least not in the time we have left.

If you press the joystick foward and then let up on it suddenly. The robot will stop very fast. So, is there a VI that will control acceleration. This would make the motors come to a slow stop.

Next, if you push the joystick a little it seems like the robot just takes off. Is there a way to make it so when you move the joystick just a little it only moves a tiny bit? There is no middle or beginning. There is only fast, faster, and fastest.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Any help would be great. Thanks.
