Revision history [back]

With the robot standing still, check the output from the IMU. It's possible that it is just really noisy. If it jumps around a lot while stationary, maybe try swapping it out and seeing if that works. If you find that there is a constant offset you could also try putting some code in the IMU driver to compensate for it, but I wouldn't recommend it.
