Hi all,
One of my major goals for this year is to establish a foothold in the realm of closed-loop autonomous mode (read: not doing dead reckoning again).
I have a good idea of how to use the gyro and feedback loops to turn the robot to certain angles, but I am curious about how other teams use it in practice. If your team uses a gyro for autonomous mode and could answer any or all of these questions, I would be very happy!
- When do you start/reset your gyro? At the start of autonomous or at some other time?
- How do you set your robot up initially on the field? Is everything relative to your starting line-up, or do you do something different?
- Do you use your gyro for anything other than autonomous (aside from teams using holonomic field-centric control)?
