Gyro's angle value going up

[faust1706]

A "cheat" we have used in the past is a gyro reset button. That is, when we know we are at 0 degrees, we make the gyro equal zero.

Another more ambitious route is using vision to check the gyro. This was possible in 2011,12,13, and 14 due to static vision targets. All that was needed was a pose calculation.

While we have done this manually in the past, thanks for the reminder! We have "curb feelers" that help us square up with the scoring platforms. (See this link for photos. Maybe we can program an automatic reset to either 0 or 180 (whichever is closer to our current value) when both of them have found the ramp.
