BTW, talk about overkill with those speed controllers!!

Here is a quick video I did of a Gyro Stabilized Vex Kiwi robot. So far, it works great. Next step......More speed!!!
TI jaguars was all we had for extra motor controllers. We're on low supply. :'(

I actually saw your video with the vex and decided to wire it up with one of our Cortex's.

The problem was that the gyro reading would constantly decrease like there was some kind of drift even though the robot wouldn't be rotating. I don't know why it was doing that, and I only had a class period (1hr 15m) to work on code and getting everything worked out.

I could work on it some more and try to get it to work, but I'm much more fluent in LabVIEW than robotC so I'd rather try getting an FRC sized prototype working.
