I am working on the navigation problem for a tracked vehicle. The dead-reckoning 
based on drive motor encoders does not work really well because of the slippage and 
skid when the robot turns. I do not have much experience working with tracked vehicles. 
Are there any good solutions to this problem? Have anyone used those absolute 
velocity sensor or accelerometers to measure the absolute motion of the vehicle 
directly? Any good or bad experience with them? Has anyone used some cheap gyros, 
such as those used in model planes, to measure the orientation of a robot? Any 
experience or reference with them? Thanks a lot.
