Well it's a combination of tooth sensors, gyro and I/R. It knows it's starting position, then it's told by the robocoach what position the ball is in after it gets going. Our field is short so it keeps hitting the wall after the turn, but on a full size field it should make the turn, and maybe go for another 4pts after that.
