Re: SparkFun officially supporting FIRST
Great thoughts!

Our team is planning on going with field-oriented driving for some and robot-oriented for others. Right now, we are using the KOP gyro/accelerometer, but the drift on it is unacceptable and it's obvious while driving.

With that said, we were originally planning to buy the NavX, but we saw it was out of stock (I heard it's coming to AndyMark and back in stock at Kauai Labs soon). With it out of stock, we're just waiting right now.

That's why I was wondering about this SparkFun sensor. Is it worth getting that just so we can start improving our mecanum or do we risk not getting a NavX when it comes in stock?

So, as we stand right now, we're just going to wait for the NavX to become available.

Thanks!
