Re: Has anyone ever used a Computer Mouse to locate themselves on the field

I think that if you placed a high speed mouse in a plastic mount with rounded sides to ride over obstacles and then pressed it against the floor with compression springs you might be able to make this work.

I have posted a CAD illustrating this (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2576?), and I tried to post some pictures, but for some reason they aren't showing up.
