Yes, 95 ticks are always 95 ticks, but the point is if your robot really *is*
in the position where it's expected to be on the floor. The main problem with
odometry, as you know well, is that errors accumulate very fast. The
unavoidable slippage of the tracks makes the things worse. From what I read so
far about detecting a robot position, tracks are the worst choice. See, for
example, the great "Where am I? Sensors and methods for Mobile Robot
Positioning" by J.Borenstein (freely available on the net but can't remember
where).


I've downloaded, printed and read it all some time ago :-)

Great source.  Just found a source where Johann Borenstein discusses the
original 1966 paper and gives links for the full electronic version or a
CDROM or a book version.  Here is the source:
