Good luck to all the teams who choose to implement autonomous! I hope everybody gets the chance to develop a decent autonomous program. I think we learned last year that it isnt too fun to get partnered with a robot that's dead in auto mode!

We initially considered going entirely inertial, but decided that it makes things alot more complex at little extra benefit. In the end, if we have time, we may experiment with adding a gyro to help w/angular position.
