Handle spring hardstops by differently #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently when any of the hardstops are triggered, the control signal is cut 
from the amp for the related motor.  The problem is when the springs reach 
their hardstop, they have stored up a heinous amount of energy. It would 
probably be better (safer) if rather then going totally limp and unleashing 
that energy, the motors should become "dampy".

When the spring hits the hardstop, the robot will go dampy until it stops 
moving.
