I was trying to explain one way to make sure that the swerve zero is accurate before each match. If the software just takes the initial position as zero, then your wheels will have slightly different zeros each match because the wheels won't be perfictly lined up.

I was suggesting that you could have the software take the point where the encoder would read zero as the reference for the match. That way, you wouldn't have to worry about getting the swerves perfictly lined up before each match. I'm thinking that my explanation may still not be good enough, but let me know.
