Method for the drivebase.angle() function?

[8Root]

Hey guys, I'd like to know how the drivebase estimates the angle it turned. Thanks for your assistance and the effort you guys put into making this awesome project.

EDIT: A new answer can be found in #989, so we can close this thread.

Thanks - glad you like this project!

It uses the encoders of the motors to estimate the heading, based on the dimensions you have specified for the wheel diameter and axle track.

There're no gyro involved (yet).

Do you already have an estimate when gyro support is going to be added?

Hopefully this year.
