Re: Team 1212 proof of concept

Hi there, Team 1212.

Using a gyroscope to center the robot according to the location of itself to the drive station, and having two sonar sensors built right on to the robot, we used last year's robot and gave it the ability to utilize holonomic mech wheels to freely rotate and speed the robot which way the driver would like in a perfectly accurate direction.

Please check out the video at
