Re: DARPA Sensors

I can think of a few things you can do, I will also b trying these as soon as I get my rc car built from the chainsaw motor sitting on my garage floor and the 24 feet of steel tubing in my basement.

--Use an IR or RF beacon in stead of GPS if you are on a tight budget.


--Parallax has a article on their website about serially interfacing a $100 GPS with a BASIC Stamp

--Accelerometers and gyros to autonomously navigate terrain, along with distance sensors.
