The problem that we had this year was it drifted prior to the match, and our initial driving based on the gyroscope angle was off, because it drifted a different amount depending on the time from robot placement to when they actually started the match.

I have thought about putting in a software cancel, would something like that be a if encoders are not moving, keep angle the same, and count the accumulation in the code instead of letting the gyro do it itself, and reset the gyro every iteration? That is the only way i could think of doing it.
