How can you figure out robot speed?!?!
Our robot has the camera, two Hall-Effect (GTS) sensors, the gyro, and (maybe) the accelerometer. It is driven by two small CIM motors. I have not gotten the accelerometer to work, and I desperately need to know the speed of the robot (accurately if possible).

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Robinson
