PID loops are not hard. It is just all ratios, it just sounds hard. Sure, it is a lot of code, but it does not make it any harder. The hardest thing might just be incorporating a gyro scope, but that is not all that difficult unless there is a lot of inaccuracies in the readings.

We will make our robot auto target stuff with the camera, its not that hard.
It doesn't seem hard, but it is. You can do it with enough time dedication and skill, but that doesn't stop it from being hard.
