Re: X and Z axis change when gyro reaches 90 degrees

The issue for us was that anytime that the robot was rotated more than 90* the control was messed up. All directions on the joystick made the robot go forward or nothing moved at all. The way we are using the gyro is not for field -oriented control but for improved strafing capabilities. With the gyro the robot strafes directly right and left, correcting itself automatically, instead of at an angle.
