Some of my students claim their inertial is not refreshing fast enough (up to 2 second delays) from all the documentation I found, this should not be the case. This hurt us badly at states, so some advice could be awesome!
Would need to see their code to rule out if it’s a software issue. Are your students calibrating the IMU at the start of the program? That usually takes 2-3 seconds but can be done in pre-auto.
For hardware issues, you could have the students check that the wire clips are seated properly and don’t disconnect when the robot is jostled.
We have never run into this issue, and we’ve used inertial sensors every year. my best guess is that it’s more likely to be a code or mechanical issue, so check that first
Hi,
I have no idea why this is the case, we would need to see code as others have mentioned. You can try factory resetting the interial. To do this go to the device menu, hold the calibrate button until it adds a little red “factory” tag and then click to reset.
Hopefully that helps,

The issue the OP describes would have nothing to do with factory calibration, so not a good suggestion, at a minimum reference the kb article with all warnings about doing that.
That sounds like you may be calling “calibrate” within the code at the wrong place.
