How do you control the Hybrid mode? What commands does the Robo-coach (if used, but I assume you do) give?
We have two encoders (one on each side, 64 ticks per revolution) and a gyro for feedback on the drive system and there is a 10-turn pot mounted on the arm. The information from the base is fed into a positional system we use to keep track of our location on the field and react appropriately.

The hybrid modes focus mainly on informing the robot what "lane" to be in on the straight-aways (for now!).
