I was just wondering if my team should use an accelerometer or two gear tooth sensors on each side of our bot to make sure it is moving straight. It seems like the accelerometer is way too touchy to set up on the robot but the gear tooth sensors seem pretty easy to put on and overall more practical. With the gear tooth sensors, we would just compare the gear tooth rate on each side and regulate voltage going to the motors until the gear tooth rates of each side are equal. We have no clue what we would do with the accelerometer. Our team is a complete rookie team but we have a bunch of seniors that are in advanced electronics and advanced engineering, so we have a strong base. What would everyone recommend we do?
