H: Question about the "system-block" We're busy with a project, we are building a 'stabilized duocoper system' with two DC motors, they have to make the 'arm' stable, so when it goes more to the right the left motor has to turn more fast to make the angle zero, so that it stands vertical on the earth. My question is, ...
