If you're going very slowly, that might work. The problem is that an optical mouse will lose tracking completely if it moves too fast. One reason for considering a "telephoto mouse" mounted high is to trade resolution for maximum speed.
You have accomplished and learned more in the past six weeks than...a majority of people in the country. Be proud of your machine. Don't kick it to the gutter. Stand behind it. Believe in it. Give it your all. Take pride in your robot. :) - sanddrag [more]
