We have started to develop a program to automatically balance. Our first attempts to run the program on last year's robot were much like the first few times our drivers tried to balance, it reacted to late and to much.

We are currently using the gyro chip and also a custom built sensor to tell whether we are titled or not. We are probably going to add another sensor or two to make things easier and more reliable.

Thats about all we have right now. In a few weeks we will know if we are succesful or not. :-)
