Looking in the Wiki here are the list of examples:

• Field-oriented Drive

• Automatic Balancing

• Rotating to a given Angle

• Motion/No-Motion Detection

That is pretty impressive, I can't wait to see what some teams can do with this.


Any videos of it in action?

Here's a video recently posted by the lead technical mentor of team 246, showing how they used the nav6 to implement field oriented drive. The navX is based on the same technology:

It's mentioned at about 5:30 and 10:30 into the video referenced in this post.
