Re: Gyroscope saturation?

Uber, we haven't implemented a testbed for this year yet, so I don't have any data. This was all hypothetical, because I was pretty sure you can saturate the 80 dps gyro pretty easily. I'll go with the 300.

Can collisions really saturate this gyro? How far off would that knock the reading? It seems to me most collisions don't spin robots at high rates.
