We are a fairly inexperienced team, and just got the SENSOR BOARD (ACCELEROMETER & GYRO) from FIRST Choice ( http://firstchoicebyandymark.com/fc16-000). Could we get some advice on connecting and using the sensor board to drive straight? Ideally we could easily disable this function while driving over terrain, getting in a pushing match, etc. We are programming in Java and have an 8-CIM mechanum wheel drive which we are currently controlling using the RobotDrive class's mecanumDrive_Cartesian method. No comments on the choice of drive train please, just programming/wiring advice.
Thanks in advance!

I know that you said you didn't want any comments on drive train choice, but you are only allowed 6 CIMs on a robot. You're going to have to go down to one motor per mecanum wheel or you won't be legal.
