Go to Post Yes, it is fun. Its fun to watch the students expand their thinking and look outside the "normal" and watch their thoughts explode! Its also fun to watch the mentor's minds fry trying to out think the students.;) - Robert Cawthon [more]

accelerometers

I did something kind of like that last year, except I did this:

I had a gyro chip, and then rotary encoders on the wheels. I was worried about using an accelerometer, because in order to get position, you need to integrate them twice. So, once the velocity gets off by a little bit, your position will start "drifting." I never actually tried using an accelerometer; maybe this isn't as big a problem as I thought.
