Agreed. Nothing will come close to comparing with the navX for FRC use.

It's increadibly easy to set up, small, and has accuracy beyond belief. Gyros we have used in previous years all had some slight drift and we're some what complicated to use.

First use out of the box we were able to drive around blind for a little and go back to where the gyro thought was 0 to within an inch or 2.

Would highly recommend the navX, only slight con is that it takes up a USB port.
