I'm going to start working on this in a couple of days, but there are a few things you might want to look at:
1. Don't Float the motors. Float is very imprecise. Make them Stop in the spot!
2. If you are maneuvering, slow down the motors. Don't do it a full speed or you might overshot the spot you want to stop.
3. 1/4 in the tacho counter in very little. I'd call it precise enough.
This weekend I've made a program that detects impacts *without* sensors!
And it's flexible enough to work the whole range of speeds.
It detects when the motors are not responding to the speed I told them to be and stop them as soon as the speed slows down with an error.
It's pretty amazing the things one can do with the Tachometers!!! :-)
