I assume you have already discarded the simple approach of using a rotation sensor and detecting that it has stopped rotating. (This gives you an odometer for free!) Or if you don't have a rotation sensor, you can use the half width six hole pulley (...) (23 years ago, 6-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
