Hi!

If the mouse ball is placed at a distance from the rotation center of the
robot, then it will never get into a situation where it will rotate around its
own axis. Of course, the software has to perform some calculations, but it's
always a price to pay... ;-)

Surely you can take apart your mouse and build two custom rotation sensors.
I would need a sensor expansion board for it, as I want at least 2 touch
sensors too...

I will look at your webpage, I'm sur eit will be useful!

Thanks
