Re: Help the field crew, reset your gyro in autonomous
We were out of control a couple matches because of moving the robot while turning it on. This confuses the gyro, because it considers the voltage during this moment an angular rate of zero. As far as I can tell, the only safe work around is to not turn the robot on until it is still.
