Ramp Rate and step voltage

Mechanical and electrical are done on the bot and programming will get the bot tonight. We have made a characterization routine for the sysid logger but wonder what would be safe ramp rates and step voltages.

Our intake will be rotated at a falcon 500 with a 1:1 ratio so I think the default 1 volt/second ramp rate and 7 volt step voltage will be to aggressive.

Code for the intake can be found here, our shooter will have the same issue

Don’t really have any numbers on the top of my head
What I would do is simulate the system using one of WPI’s simulation classes, and see what are good numbers for the system
