Also, I didn't know, but it seems our coach purchased a bunch of Talon SRXs. I'm just now starting to read up on them, but don't they have some sort of encoder built in? I could try to merge that data with the BNO055 or the ADXRS450.
juchong, I'm a little unsure, are you saying the ADXRS450 won't be suitable for what I'd like to do?

Hi bts! The Talon SRXs have a connector on them to allow you to wire encoders directly. You can then configure the motor controllers to use the encoder information in a PID loop (among other things).
The XRS450 will be suitable for getting your robot across obstacles and maintaining heading, but it will not provide you with a position in 3D space. Since the sensor only measures one axis, there isn't enough information to calculate position.
