Measuring Distance With Sensors
Ok so every year (for ~12 yrs now) my team has always done "dead-reckoning" Autonomous, but as programmer I am determined to use some sensors. (Last yr was 1st year to get the camera display).
Recently I managed to get the gyro to work and have the robot travel in a straight line down a long hallway. Now I would like to measure the distance of the robot moving, What would be best for this? (Accelerometer, my mentor suggested Hall Effect Sensors with a magnet mounted on the wheel, or different kind of encoder).
