Autonomous Positioning
How does everyone plan to keep track of their position, especially in autonomous mode (but having several applications in user control as well)? Some ideas we've thrown around are:
The Hall Effect Sensors
Optical (Mouse?) Tracking
GPS (probably too expensive and hard to interface)
A small idler with encoder
The Camera
Use of a gyro would be necessary in all of these instances, except perhaps GPS (which could only be reliable within around 2 feet anyway).
I know a lot of these ideas are covered in other threads. I'm just wondering how your team plans to do it and what kind of success/accuracy you've had in the past with it. I don't see anyone being realistically able to cap the vision tetra in autonomous without some kind of positioning system.
