Re: Autonomous / Hybrid - Tethered versus Radio?

I am going to have to make this a quick post since I'm short on time.

What are your IR commands? We had major problems with IR on the FLR field I can elaborate on them if you want.

Gyro biasing is a very important thing as mentioned before.

Do you reset your distance count at the beginning of auton? (alignment adjustments before the match could affect your count)

Try printing out your distance in the user mode byte (after shifting). Train your drive team to watch it during practice round auton and tell you the value when it turns.
