Re: Hall Effect Sensor.

We are given two Hall Effect Sensors. By using them to count teeth of sprockets on opposite sides of your robot you can calculate the difference in number of wheel rotations, and from that rotation of your robot.

If they are used this way, i believe, they work as a replacement for a gyro, although they would not account for being pushed or otherwise interfered with.
