Talking about mounting gyro, since the gyro and the accelerometer are together (I know you can separate them but it's nice to be in one piece), I am wondering how the other teams mount them onto the robot regarding shock absorbing. A few years ago, we were forced into a situation that we need to use the accelerometer in place of the encoders to determine the distance travelled. That means doing double integration of the accelerometer values. It was terrible because the sensor picked up so much noise when the robot is moving. Not that we will attempt again, but I am always wondering if adding shock absorbing material to the mount would improve the situation. In theory, it might help the gyro as well.
