Team 871's Gyroscopic Code

[SenorZ]

Maybe I'm still too much a rookie to get it. It just looks like a well driven robot. Perhaps a before vs after, split-screen style, of driving without your gyroscopic code on, then with it on would illustrate it better.

The rotating-while-simultaneously-driving-in-a-straight-line maneuver shown in the video is quite difficult to do with robot-centric control.

This point in the video demonstrates exactly where their gyro-based control is evident.

There is another video from a few years back demonstrating the same concept:http://www.team1058.com/media/video/...dDrive2010.mov
