I hate to disagree with you Al, but the simplest use of the sensors is to hook it to power and read the analog output - I think this is likely how most teams will use them. In this case, the sensors will come up and begin running in free-ranging mode, firing off several times a second with no inputs required from the robot. Turning them on and off mid-match is also dicey at best, since they run a short calibration routine upon startup, which, if the sensor is blocked, renders subsequent readings useless. In short, I think most if not all teams who use this sensor will leave it running all the time.
