Orientation device
I was thinking about designing a swerve drive, and how to tell the robot that it was facing the opposite way from which it started. I thought of a radio compass, in which a signal is transmitted from a device on the driver station, and the robot could then tell what its orientation was. One problem: is there a rule preventing me from using such a device?
Please post any ideas/tips/comments!
