Re: Cross-Language Question ... Control Systems Practices ... Encoders/Gyros/Accels

For the past three year's I've coded our robot, we've alway stuck to encoders for autonomous naviagation (albeit to a much more limited extent last year due to all the sliding). We've played around with the idea of using gyros and accelerometers, but their drift over time and sensitivity to bumping has always led us to distrust them.
