Balancing a pole on a moving cart is the classic control benchmark. A state-feedback controller senses the pole angle and cart position and pushes the cart to keep the pole upright. Turn the controller off and it topples instantly; add disturbance to test how hard it can fight back.

Presets
A PID controller drives a system to its setpoint using three terms: proportional reacts to the current error, integral eliminates steady-state offset, and derivative damps overshoot. Tuning the three gains trades off speed, overshoot, and stability — the workhorse of industrial control.
