Re: GPS at FRC Regionals?

As for the accuracy of GPS you can get around 5 mm accuracy in a dynamic environment with a GPS base station. However these systems are very expensive.

Another major problem is the software needed to correctly interpret GPS information. To do this you need a Kalman filter and a good IMU. This is a very fun project but is well beyond high school level programming.

This all being said i would love to see FIRST implement a GPS system
