    Speed Controllers

       What if you had to control a robot with just ON/OFF switches?

       The robot would only be able to go at its maximum speed in any direction. With speed controllers, we are allowed proportional control over the robot's speed and function.

       There are 2 types of speed controllers allowed: Victor and Jaguar speed controllers. Both proportionally control the motors on the robot for functions that need precision movements, such as the drive train and turret.
