Re: Using Sensors

Just my useless two cents...

Last year, trying to get the gyro to work was horrible. I mean, it sorta did what it was supposed to, but there was too much "jitter" in it. If you used the dashboard viewer to look at the gyro output... it was going all over the place, especially when you got hit, hit things, or was going over that wire mesh (especially that).

I know some teams got it to work by using some special stuff to reduce the noise in the output... but I never quite figured that one out. And the usefulness didn't outweigh the difficulties of getting it to work so I never bothered either....
