I recommend them to all teams and don't see us switching away any time soon.
If using the built in PID for drive control, are you guys using a gryo to keep the heading straight? If so, how do you keep it straight, as I don't see a way to sync talons on different sides. Do you just adjust the velocity setpoint based on the gyro angle offset?
