Testing the Motion Sensors - Testing Physics

I address questions regarding the accuracy/reliability of the motion sensors that I use in different experiments. We find that when a motion sensor is having tracking issues, we can clearly identify greatly increased noise in the motion data. This gives us a way of identifying when problems are occurring, so we can reject that questionable data. Otherwise, we confirm that the motion sensors work to a high degree of accuracy.
