back).  These seem to be what are causing the last of my pendulum glitches.

Next I'm going to try adding momentum, and just assume that transitions which
move 2 states moved 2 states in the direction of the last motion.

I tried hacking something like this into the old rotation sensor code,
and it didn't go real smoothly, but is definitely a necessity (I think)
if you want the sensor to handle very, very high speed apps.

Is anyone else working on this?  Are people at least enjoying the lively
conversation I'm having with myself on lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos?

I am. I'm almost tempted to steal the school's rotation sensor's back, as
a I don't have any myself :)

The results were MUCH worse than just ignoring those steps, as the current code does. This seems to suggest that the 2-step (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
