Just to clarify, dead reckoning is not the practice of turning on a motor for a given time. That is just a pre-timed sequence.
Dead reckoning is using sensors on your robot to figure out its speed and direction and integrating to maintain an approximate location and heading. This is a widely misused term in FIRST... I'm not sure why.
