Re: 2220's Play/Record Macro for Autonomous

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?
For my team, we're using a different tactic of Motion Profiling to overcome this. It's not really play/record, but it's certainly worth it, especially with the inconsistency this year of where you'll end up after crossing a defense. Just my $0.02
