It's been a while since I last looked at it, but doesn't the AMotor
allow you to set a maximum torque? I don't know about fiddling with
the velocity directly, that doesn't sound like the right answer. How
are you calculating the new velocity of the wheel? It seems like you
would have to get back to a torque at some point.
