I have no problem at all with you using our design, or ideas from our design, or anything, and I'm not trying to imply that you're copying us (if you don't mean to). We'd be glad to help any way we can, too. I just wanted to make sure you didn't have unrealistic expectations for the performance of your device.

As for the 6 inch accuracy, that comes from somewhere else. While we know our position with much better accuracy than that, we would consider to have hit a waypoint if we were within a 6" square around it. This is necessary to prevent the robot from reaching a waypoint and then overshooting it due to coasting, and then having it try to keep getting closer and closer to it. I imagine you'll find that you need a similar concept as well.
