Re: Reading gyro before Autonomous mode

Last year for our drive-by autonomous mode, we used a gyro on our arm to get the angle that we had to turn to. As soon as the robot was turned on, we set the code to initialize the gyro (which takes a few seconds) on our arm before autonomous started. As soon as the gyro is initialized, it would sit right around 0, but over long periods of time the default value can drift as much as 15 degrees over a two or three minute period.
