Internal Sensors: Diagram of the RoboReptile's internal sensors and their location.


The RoboReptile only has two types of internal sensors, encoders and tilt sensors. All reside inside the torso. The neck encoder is used to determine the left/right orientation of the neck with respect to the torso. The mouth encoder determines if the mouth is open, closed or somewhere in between. The tilt sensor is used to determine if the RoboRaptor is sitting or standing.
