Re: Gyro to readjust shooter?

We tried using a gyro for our shooter angle because placement of an encoder was "inconvenient." However, as the others have said, the drift is a problem; you have to take the shooter to a known position to re-calibrate the gyro fairly often as it will drift a degree in 10 seconds. Or not; it's very random.

We have switched to an encoder.
