Re: 2220's Play/Record Macro for Autonomous

We did this last year, but wound up not using it due to inconsistency of the motor values due to battery charge. Since a motor running at a speed of, lets say, 0.8 runs at different speeds depending on the charge of the battery. This causes the autonomous, depending on the battery charge, to look right, but wind up not driving/turning the correct distance. How did you guys tackle this problem? Do you incorporate encoders and/or a gyroscope?
