Calibration and Control

Robot In a Line

• For our PID values, we mostly played around with certain values until with had a balance between speed and reaction time so that the robot was able to take sharp turns easier. 

• For the drag race, our main concern was getting the robot to move faster than our competitors, so we maxed our speed values while keeping the PID almost unchanged. 

• For the frequency sweep, we turned our speed down to make it easier for our robot to go through the curves of the track, increasing P and D while keeping I at a mid range value so that it would not over shoot and go off the track. 

• For the loop circuit, we turned our speed up a little bit so it could get more laps, but we mostly kept our PID values the same so that it would not overshoot as much.
