Omni-drive autonomous questions

[Andrew Schuetze]

Our design meeting tonight settled on four omni-wheel drive system. Since there is significant scrub when driving forward, optical shaft encoders can't reliably calculate distance traveled. Correct

I would then think that one would have to use some combination of the gyro chip and acceleration sensors and an integral function to keep track of robot displacement.

This will be a new venture for our programming team this year. I'd appretiate any suggestions for code resources.

Thanks,
