[FTC]: Sensor Ideas

I was wondering what the FTC community thought of this.

I am working on a project that uses pretty much maxes out the idea of an FTC bot. Sensors motors and everything. But in the idea of having it possibly a competition enabled robot I want to get fancy with some sensors and motors.

So my question is, Would it be possible to use a multiplexer with 4 light sensors to count rotations of something? Giving feedback to a Continuous rotation servo allowing for this system to be accurately programmed? Kinda like an encoder?

Am I just crazy or would something like this work?

- Andrew

- P.S. I might post some render later when I get the entire system done.
