and yaw-rate gyroscope provide detail of the vehicle's motion in three dimensions. |

<p>The Scout BOM provides relative localization information between robots. Four IR transmitters |
119 | 119 |
around the base broadcast the robot's identification code and the sensor position, allowing |
120 | 120 |
relative orientation to be determined. The hardware is specially designed to reject environmental |
