Description
We need to calculate the actual physical speed constraints of the robot by measuring performance on the real hardware.
Measurements needed
- Maximum linear velocity (currently MAX_SPEED in PhysicalConstants.kt)
- Maximum linear acceleration (currently MAX_ACCELERATION in PhysicalConstants.kt)
- Maximum angular velocity (recently increased from 180 to 360 degrees/second)
- Maximum angular acceleration
Background
Currently, some of these values may be theoretical rather than empirical. The PhysicalConstants.kt file contains a todo comment:
todo: should we calculate these values or see what they are in practice? (probably see)
This issue was requested by @Baconing in PR #21.
Suggested approach
- Devise a testing methodology for each constraint
- Perform measurements on the physical robot
- Update PhysicalConstants.kt with the empirical values
- Document the testing methodology for future reference
