wow i am so glad we someone else decided to do something other than dead reckoning. Our Machine (yes it happens to be pink) uses the same gyro and counting wheel to determine direction and distance, it can move up the ramp and fight almost intelligently. The only thing we lack is a smart custom circut, all we have is one that reads the holofect sensor on the counting wheel (it uses a magnet to measure passes in 8in intervals) and tells the base control chip that it has gone 8 inches, the chip then counts and we can tell how far we have gone, in the same time the chip calculates that if the robot hasn't moved in so many cylcles and the motors are at full it backs up and trys again, and it fought and spun out a robot @ UCF.

Congrats on your design, i should like to see it in action, you going to nationals???
