I was hoping to find a sensor for under $50 accurate to less then 1 - 2 degrees.

I have already spent many hours looking for this, but haven't found anything that's in my price range and is accurate enough.

Wouldn't this be foiled by the metal chassis of the bot, electronic components, and other things?
