A combination of Gyro & Accelerometer should be able to do what you described with some serious coding (especially for the accelerometer) if implemented correctly (Heading using Gyro, X & Y displacement using accelerometer).

Do you know whether the programmer utilized the protoboard? If so, what kind of sensors did he use?

Thanks again!
Im not sure what he did I think he was planning on using the protoboard for some kind of sensors that detect distance like an IR range finder and some other stuff. He was a pretty crazy programmer, apparently he had plans to make his original teams (some drama long story) robot basically completely autonomous throughout auto and tele mode. He basically wanted to implement that on this bot but with more human control added into the equation.

Aperture is going a different way I'm sure you have see our Hand Of God discussion. Well thats the isolation bot the other bot we still dont quite know what to do, since the odds of actually getting that entire center stack of game objects are very slim considering the robot that would have to do that would be fairly complex, so we are taking a different approach that does close to the same thing but in a different way, however you will have to wait and see for that one
