Re: Help the field crew, reset your gyro in autonomous

One solution to this is to use a compass, this way even if your team horribly misaligns your robot, you as the programmer can realign the robot for them.

I would never use a compass alone, but I think to use it to zero the gyro at various points of the match would help with the drift and alignment issues.
