We do a more advanced version of this. We use PID to drive the robot, using a navX MXP gyro as sensor input. It can maintain orientation very well, and its orders of magnitude faster reacting than what you see in this video. This also allows for perfectly straight driving, and we also turn the robot using PID as well.
Nice video, but one note is that you said it 'returns to it's original path', it would be more suitable to say it returns to it's original orientation (which occasionally was not the only property disturbed by external forces left uncorrected after realigning).
May you show an autonomous example on how to make the robot turn by a specific angle? For example, say you want the robot to drive forward, turn at a specific angle, and then continue driving forward.
I don't recall, but you wouldn't want it. It skewed a degree or so every few seconds. I found it in a pile of scrap parts. It also had an awkward full rotation that translated to 300 degrees :S So it's good enough for proof of concept, and a 15 s auton mode. I wish you best of luck!

can you share code
YES I love this!!! Keep doin what you’re doin Mr. Nieh!

Not bad, your mentors would be proud
Loving the content 👌

NICE VIDEO THANK YOU
What is your gyro model?
