We are not the only ones using this method, many robots are looking at wheel rotation sensors and getting other feedback for positioning.

Yeah, but all that fancy equipment don't help a whole lot when you set the robot up backwards *grins*

Hehe... sorry, didn't mean any disrespect. For the people who don't know what I mean, in the semifinals of MR, Wildstangs bot ran straight into the midfield barrier during autonomous. I would assume they lined the bot up backwards so it thought it was going the other way...

IMO, it was this that allowed 16 to come back in the 2nd match and win.
