Very helpful post, thanks!

When you say you used it as a yaw trimmer do you mean that it was used to correct the robots steering? I was thinking about this and I figured that the errors would build up to the degree that the sensors would give such faulty information that the robot would no longer be operable. I take it this isn't the case?
