You can check out some of the threads where we've discussed some of the things we've done:

StangSense: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3302
StangPS: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=20273

We used enhanced versions of StangPS in 2004 and 2005. Also in 2005 we added camera support to our custom circuit and used that information combined with the position info to approach the tetra correctly (our robot required that we drive parallel to one side of the tetra no further than 2 inches away) and this year we implemented an auto-tracking turret. 2006 is probably the first year where our software could have run entirely on the RC, but having the separation of tasks makes it more manageable to implement and debug.
