Re: Reading gyro before Autonomous mode

In the past many teams have taken several hundred samples during competition mode and created an average neutral point from them. Either way gives you a good 0 yaw rate point to use for the next 2:15

Thanks that was exactly what I hoped for and was thinking must be possible.
