Its a "gyro"/Yaw rate sensor that was created by the team. I give this team a huge hand and commendment for coming up with a team designed use and actual yaw rate sensr this year.

Oh, you MADE one. Im guessing to keep the cost down. We were going to go with an old first yaw/rate on our bot, but we made an accelorometer for under $10, then we decided that there was no reason to use it... Are you using it for ajusting your "legs" while climbing?

Does the mysterious black box contain a board with a MEMS yaw rate sensor, or is there an actual homemade sensor in there?

I took one look at that picture and realized that that robot looked very familiar. I went to my pics that I took at the St. Louis regional and found your robot and found out why it looks familiar. It is very similar to last year's robot but this year's isn't purple. :) You must have liked that design.

Yes, it bears a strong resemblance to our last robot (The Velvet Fog), but this one has more suspension (obvious reasons). Actually, it has more of just about everything. ;)
