the game at the competitions is usually only 3 minutes long ( I would gess 10 rotations (remember we turn the wheels in both directions). and besides this we can just reset the encoders. do you think we can set the wheels to one degree exact, so we can take advantage of the better encoders? Once we have the frame moving, we can test how extreme this problem is going to be.
