Using a PIDController for speed might work a little better though it will be hard to land in the distance we tried to go to. So how do we go into doing something like that?

Good luck in the season everybody!
If you have a gyro, you can run a PID on the angle so that if it turns one way or the other, it will increase/decrease the outputs on the sides to help it turn back.
