Hi All...

Does anyone know of or have experiance with small (little) gyros?· Are there such things that would be appropriate for use on a hex-crawler?·

Thanks in advance!

All the best...

Joe

    Nuts & Volts has articles on 'rate gyros' in their back issues. I think that you can get to those on-line for free.
    Seattle Robotics also has some discussion of gyros and navigation.

    Gyros can really be appropriate for a lot of applications.
    They can agument the direction heading from a compass and keep you on track when the compass gets distracted by local ferrous objects.

    They can be used to sense up and down or tilt. This can be either used in flight or walking on rough terrain.
