1. If you use the joystick controls to set a velocity that you use a PID loop to maintain instead of setting the Jaguar values directly the robot should maintain equal velocity on both sides and drive in a straight line.

2. Yes, PID control on position is a good way to handle dead reckoning forward/back movements in autonomous. PID control on angle using a gyro is a good way to make dead reckoning turns.

3. Nope, not at all.
