Maybe next season I want to develop and test a new metric for FRC scouting: Bumper Quality Rating (BQR). BQR-5: The platonic ideal of FRC bumpers. ... BQR-0: Moderate to heavy use of duct tape. I believe BQR would outperform OPR as a predictor of on-field robot performance. - Nate Laverdure [more]

The physics do not change and as the default position of the gyro is vertical the tourque does not affect driving unless tilted...which is the point...obviously...
