I already built the robot (wheelchair style) with 2 rotation sensors.
Although it seens very precise to move in a straight line, sometimes it
changes its direction by a few degrees. It looks like one of the rotation
sensors is losing some counts. Some people already reported this kind of
problem. I'll debug to be sure. I may need to change the gears to reduce the
rotation sensor speed. The problem is that I will lose precision as well.


Reducing the rotation sensor speed will probably get things worse: precision
loss (less ticks per turn) and _more_ lost counts (see
www.philohome.com/sensors/legorot.htm)
