v0.3.5-dev.2: Better Engine

Changes:

• New max power per wheel of 15 kW
• New max torque per wheel of 7.5 kNm
• Some internal logging

v0.3.5-dev.1: New Tire Physics!

Changelog:

• New tire physics:
  • Power (W) instead of torque (Nm) applied to motor. Each motor has a max power (7.5 kW) and a max torque (3 kNm). The applied torque with given power is equal to the power / angular velocity of the wheels (rads/sec). So more torque can be applied at low rpms, just like in real life. In the future, more gear ratios will be added, but for right now it is 1:1.
    • robotConnection.set_tire_motor_power(tireName, power)
  • Better ground detection (though not perfect, on my list of things to improve)
  • Braking (in Nm, with a max of 500 Nm)
    • robotConnection.set_tire_brake_torque(tireName, torque)
• New info about tires in robotConnection.info.tires
  • tires["tireName"] contains a bunch of information about that wheel, like rpm, applied torque, etc.

This update requires an awconnection upgrade.
