Re: Gyro's angle value going up

A "cheat" we have used in the past is a gyro reset button. That is, when we know we are at 0 degrees, we make the gyro equal zero.

Another more ambitious route is using vision to check the gyro. This was possible in 2011,12,13, and 14 due to static vision targets. All that was needed was a pose calculation.
