Re: Compass sensor

We tried one in 2008. Go look up some 364 video's on TBA for 2008, then come up with a conclusion.

The compass we tried was the biggest pain in the butt we've ever used. We could not find a decent place to put it on the robot, so we mounted it up top away from all the motors, then when we went under the steel underpass, guess what started tripping up.

Do yourself a favor and use a Gyro.

Some other teams may have gotten a compass working, but ours was way too sensitive.
