Of course! But for some applicvations, that isn't a big problem - and if it
works it is cheaper and simpler than other methods at the same precision (I
think)

As a matter of fact, I am working on a way to use a pattern printed on the
floor and read with the light sensor for determining position and eventually
direction... Theoretically, I have the solution, but in practice it is much
limited by the small dynamic range of the light sensor and by the sampling rate
... If anyone is interested, I can post my ideas.

This is an interesting idea, but I think you will have a problem common to most dead-reckoning navigation solutions and that is that wheel slip, mouse ball slip, and the differential slip between the two (i.e., if the robot wheel slips, the mouse (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
