The entire basis of a PID control routine is the ability to sense what's going on and take action to make it match what is desired. Without sensors, you can't have any sort of closed-loop feedback control.

...we dont need any encoders because the gyroscope algorithms/functions we made will automatically correct for any motor error.

Gyroscopes are fine for rotational sensing, but without encoders, how is the robot going to know how fast or how far it's moving?
Have you ever found yourself staring at a physics problem, not understanding it, then connected it to a past FRC game and suddenly felt the light bulb start shining? - StephLee [more]
