Re: Encoder+PID = How make robot going straight
We find it soooo much easier to make a robot go straight with a GYRO verses encoders. So if your application or goal is to go straight maybe try with a gyro if you have one?

Here is some pseudo code in excel with a simple "P" loop that works for autonomous mode.
