Re: Dashboard

Can you explain a little about how you keep an accurate position of your robot during a match? Is it based on speed and direction, and if so how do you account for slipping wheels or other irregularities?

We thought about designing a positioning system briefly at 254 but decided against it for the complexity and predicted inaccuracy (with proximity sensors on gear teeth and possibe optical encoders on the motors).

What it boils down to: can you keep an accurate position even when bumping into things, dueling with other bots, or climbing the stairs, where your wheels will be slipping?

Thanks,
