PID controller for the mini rover
Overview: what the mini rover does and why it needed closed-loop control (Fall 2025).
How it works
Explain the PID algorithm, what you're controlling (heading, wheel speed, etc.), how you tuned Kp, Ki and Kd, and how it drives the rover's movement. A step-response plot before and after tuning is ideal.
