(FYI - we won't be able to test any of our autos until Thursday this week, robot got bagged before we could.)

Use a second gyro if possible and tilt it on its side to measure if you are flat. Or use the accelerometer. Or ultrasonic sensors to measure the barriers between defenses. There are many ways to do this with many different sensors.
I am committed to this program because I know it works. It gets more students (than the school average) into college, it makes better adults of the students we mentor, it makes better employees of the mentors that participate, and it makes better schools in our communities. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
