Hi there

can anyone please help me understand this formula taken from the car networking example?

veloSteer=((15/(2*velo.magnitude+1))+1)*handbrakeFactor;

thanks

That is probably an empirical formula to control velocity of the cars as hacked by the coder because it worked. (he adjusted it until he got it where he wanted it)
