It doesn't matter if the temperature changes between your workspace and the competition as long as the robot is power cycled between those two places.
Ahh, that makes our job easier overall.
However, we are having issues with the gyro not outputting correctly, and we assumed that it had to do with the temperature. Guess its back to troubleshooting. Thanks for the info though!
