Again, thanks to Chris Hibner and Mike Betts who helped us sort out our messy code. Check this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34673.
Thats really cool! We’ve tried similar things with potentiometers but they’ve never worked even close to that well.
Sweet! i wouldnt have the guts to fill a cup with water and hang it over our bot :yikes:
Very cool, Where is the gyro at? Could be a cool trick to show to the judges!
Haha yea maybe swinging around a cup of water a few feet above our electronics is not a very good idea…
It’s mounted to the side of the arm not in view, about 1’ down from the pivot.
