Re: Touchsensors in the Bumpers legal?

If the application is to prevent driving up a wall and flipping over, consider using a 2- or 3-axis accelerometer as a tilt sensor. If the robot reaches a defined angle (and you aren't intentionally driving over the bump), have it stop driving (or even drive the other direction until the angle comes back down).
