Yah, that was mine

I imported each sensor class separately as a teaching tool. I don't want my students to get in the habit of using wild cards and just importing everything. That's fine if you are slapping together something quickly, but I don't think it's a good practice for production level code. Also, I wasn't sure how wild cards would impact memory, so I opted for what I thought would be the lower memory model. If I'm mistaken there please correct me, as wild cards would definitely keep me from messing up because I forgot to import something.
