What do you suggest? I was planning on using limit switches if not gyro. I have a mechanism in the center of the robot that has 2 windows motors that rotate the shooter scoop, on the end of this rotatable shooter scoop I have the gyro. I have also put 2 limit switches at the upper and lowermost positions that are preferred to this device.
Visual aid:
This isnt the bot I have but its similar to that mechanism in the middle.
