iscrc2 is an unknown quantity at this point
It made a lot of sense to use the gyro last year to help do the bridge balance, but are there good uses for it this year? Have any teams used the gyro as a "stabilizer" to help make their machine track a better line? E.g. in a tank style drive with variations in motors and transmissions perhaps 50% power equates to 50% in the left and 48% in the right. Would the gyro be useful for "fixing" that? We've messed with scaling in the code but it seems that one day its left, the next day its right.
