Re: How to Mount a Gyro

Mount it firmly to the robot - some vibration is OK but letting it move relative to the chassis is bad. As above mentioned, the center of the chassis base is a good idea, down low is good.

We have used velcro to good effect, allowing for easy mounting and removel when necessary. We have also used small non-metal screws (there are mounting holes) and even zip ties successfully. On a practice bot, we held it down with duct tape.
