Whats wrong with floating point? the processor handles it for us just fine (=

looking at your plot of the robot, it looks like your heading is being compromised by an x-coordinate that is off. If you add a correction in for your x-position, it should work just fine.


...and looking at wildstang's video we are doing something similar, except using encoders as our sole positioning sensor
