Basic Info
Description of contribution in a few bullet points
fix division by zero in constraint_critic, leading to cost values being NaNs. These values then propagate through all the critics and results in NaN control_sequence. These NaNs were removed by the hard applyControlSequenceConstraints(), but replaced with ax_max & wz_max. These lead to high turning at the start of a run.
