HMMM.. I wonder if anyone has ever implemented an optical mouse solution applied to the carpet beneath an FRC robot...you'd need to use two of them in different locations to also measure rotation, but it'd be a great way to know if you lost traction. Oh, well - not my problem this year; shove it into the "off-season projects" folder, er, file cabinet.
