The robot currently has a very slight drift (2 inches over the course of 10 feet), mostly due to chain tensioning. This drift can be corrected in the code with gyro feedback control, which we do in the season.
That is pretty good performance. Does the amount of drift or the distance driven change if you reduce the acceleration to half or if you double it?
