Re: Help with Angles and distance
Conceptually, using GPS on one of these robots isn't a good idea because GPS is inaccurate to 10 feet which is pretety huge considering the field is only 20 feet wide. So there really is no benefit to even using GPS on a robot unless you have $60k to spend on one that is accurate to a millimeter...let alone going through the major headache going from point a to point b in easyc is.
