How about this for the essential flaw: Does it really make
sense to create data types in your program that are so closely
tied to external factors like rocket speed limits and angles?
Why not use data types that could handle the full range of
values from the sensor? The approach used seems incredibly
brittle, and in fact turned out to be so.
