Re: IR Board

We can cross 3/4 lines by using a combination of dead-reckoned turns and encoders on the gearboxes for distance detection. We also tried to use a gyro for the turns, but had hardware problems so we make the turns just by turning for a set time.

I am not sure how mirrors would help unless they were using lasers (which are prohibited), so I am not sure what they meant.
