What margin of error is tolerable in FRC?

I'll toss this out to stir up the pot: if you need double precision floats for your FRC software, you should re-think what you're doing. - Ether [more]

What margin of error is tolerable in FRC?

What margin of error is tolerable in FRC? After running tests with last year's robot, the margin of error on the drive train encoder output was 1.45% and 3.45%. That seems insignificant, but is it? Would a kalman filter be necessary if this data was getting put into a PID control loop?
