This was to give us info on how far over we moved. If we moved diagonally it would register both distances to give us our position (10 feet forward and 5 feet to the right). The biggest problem we had was mounting it, however this would have been easier if we haden't been a flopbot.

I saw the picture, big question did it work well, how much loss was there. Ours worked well but it started to having a lot of loss once a half lap was done, so you could not have lots of accruacy that you could depend on.
