Re: Autonomous using encoders

Rickterson speaks the truth. What you need is a simple porportional algorithm, full PID is overkill for this.

Another, perhaps obvious, fix is to make sure your robot isn't peeling out. Don't floor it right off the bat in autonomus, but ramp up the values you send to the motors.
