Re: Severe Issues with Andymark Swerve and Steer Module

I realize that there are ways to fix the issues we are having, and am not here to supply them. I am simply letting teams know that using "ticks" to count the number of rotations or various other ways of fixing the issue via software reduce the functionality of the "better" sensors to the level of the original, relative, sensors, because you still have to align the wheels before each match. Because of the new brownout protocols, the sensors can loose power and completely mess up your pre-match alignment. This is what the absolute sensors are supposed to eradicate.
