Re: Picking a gyro for field-centric swerve control

My solution is to train drivers to drive robot-centric.

There are plenty of very good character-centric video games out there, most notably the GBA versions of the Tony Hawk series, that make training for this sort of thing possible.

Not what you're looking for I bet, but the one year I had an omnidirectional robot to drive (in Vex), it got me up to speed fast enough.
