MOTION PROFILING FOR FTC

Math involves knowing maximum velocity and max acceleration. Calculates ideal velocity and position to get to desired distance.

Which unit should I use?

Unit can be anything as long as it is consistant.
For example:
If we want the robot/vehicle to move 10 inches forward, then the velocity would need to be inches per second (in/sec) and acceleration would be inches per second per second (inches/second^2).

How do I calculate max velocity and max acceleration?

Click here for link to KinematicTest

Using that class you can find both max velocity and max acceleration.

Before you use kinematic test make sure you configured the Hardware file correctly.

Put the number of encoder ticks per one revolution of your motor as such:

public final int ticks_per_revolution = 1440; // change 1440 to the number of ticks per rev for your motor

Do the same for wheel diameter:

public final double wheel_diameter = 4.0; // measure your wheel in the unit that you want to keep constant. EX) inches

Look at the telemetry data received from the phone then save that to the Hardware file.
