Re: Gryo, Camera, Accelorometer, Ultrasonic, and Gear Tooth Sensors in one program

Based on our past 3 years experience of using interrupt driven events to count shaft encoders for speed and distance, I'd say that a 2nd processor would be useful for off-loading that task from the FRC. Sampling accelerometers also comes to mind... It all comes down to the sensors you plan to use for a particular game, the accuracy you think you need, and the resources you have to pull it off.

...my 2 cents
Eric
