Re: sensors
Jake Isn't asking a question, he is making a statement. Read the manual (RTM). The rules are explicitly stated for disallowing and what is left is what is allowed.
Since I don't like to be the guy that just says "figure it out for your self", I'll give some advice instead.
1. Make sure that when you ask a question, ask the question that you want answered. the old adage "garbage in, garbage out" is especially applicable in the way you stated your question.
Try the question instead: "I would like to put a sensor on our robot that can see the light from a flashlight pointed at the ground and follow where I am pointing it. The specs for such a sensor are found at acme.com as part number 12345. I have read the manual, but can't find any explicit rules against this. Since this is not a laser based system and doesn't violate <Rxyz>, I think it would be legal. Does anyone see a reason I couldn't use this?"
2. Make sure you or at least your team mates carefully read the rules. If you need help, post a few pictures or ideas here on CD. Everyone here wants to make sure that everyone ships a compliant robot. The less delays at competition, the more fun it is for everyone
