Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.
One thing I would like to test is driving a field centric drive with a very large gyro drift (say +/-10 degrees).

If the driver can see the robot, I don't think a drift that large will matter (in tele-op). An interesting question would be, "How long can someone drive a field centric drive before performance suffers from gyro drift?"

I'd hypothesize that you wouldn't see a big difference in performance until drift reached ~15 degrees.


Coming back around to my questions, if performance doesn't suffer with 10 degrees of drift, I don't think gyro drift should be a concern preventing teams from using field centric drives.
