Re: Gyro Drift
We don't have that model on our bot (we have the one that came w/ First Choice), but I wonder -- is there a calibration routine that you may not be running?

I know with the FC one we have to have the bot powered up and still for at least 20-30s stationary and then trigger the calibration (which takes a few seconds) and then the drift drops to < 0.1 deg/sec and usually < 1 deg/min. (I can also say if the robot isn't still, or if it's calibrated too quickly the drift is higher, sometimes severely so.)
