Botists:

I have just finished my robot base for my 6270 controller board, and am now
in need of sensors for positioning/movement information.

To avoid the inherent problems with shaft encoders,i.e., slippage, I want
to use 2 computer mice located strategically beneath the robot base (which
is a tank-type drive).

Has anyone done this?

Thanks,
Jeffrey Graham
