Re: Picking a gyro for field-centric swerve control

Team 20 did a field-centric swerve drive this year. We used 10 turn pots to sense wheel angle (to allow multiple rotations and remember the position between matches) and the kit gyro. I believe it had about 2 degrees of error at the end of a match. Our driver was great at dealing with error though. He could keep going through 10 minutes plus during practice.
