Re: Effectiveness of Quadrature Encoders

From experience in years past, the gyro won't drift too much to notice during the match, unless you exceed its rated value in degrees / second (I remember in 2008 the gyro in the kit was limited to something along the lines of 70 degrees / second, which was too easy to exceed).

In mission critical applications such as autonomous, 15 seconds isn't too much and you should be absolutely fine.
