Gyro Help

At first, I was thinking about compensating for the error of the angle ; however it doesn't work out so well because it can fluctuate or have a consistent angle each time. I would attempt to use PID however I'm not familiar with it, is there a quick way to get a fast understanding of it since we only have so little time left for build season.

If you take a little time to read about the math and concepts behind it, it isn't that difficult to understand.

These resources might help:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller (it's Wikipedia, so its a little wordy, but it has some good information)
