You know how bmx bikes use gyros to pull the back brakes well i was wonderin if anyone else thinks it would be great to have a gyro made of plastic and metal for the vex receiver so that your robot could make a program so when the receiver loses signal it will go into auto mode and turn the rod with receiver gyro til it gets signal again!
…
sounds hard but its pretty easy for ppl who plastic and metal lyin around though i dont
.
so what do ya think
are you 
YES:D or 
NO:(
srry but forgot poll at last minute
I’m pretty sure that user code in the microcontroller can access a variable that records whether the microcontroller is getting a valid signal from a receiver, and I know that you can buy gyros compatible with the microcontroller’s inputs.
All that remains to be done is writing the software; and that is an exercise left for “the student”.

I think it would be cool if you could put a gyro in your VEX robot and it be FVC legal. There are alot of possibilities. I can see why you would want it to be in the reciever, but then the recievers would be way too expensive, they are expensive enough now!
oh :eek: i forgot to mention the receiver can turn in place unless you guys already assumed that because the wires would be connected to an individual circle
