One thing to beware of with the IR sensors is that the case is conductive and connected to ground, so we didn't pass inspection initially until we isolated its case from the chassis. But other than that, we've had really good results with them.

We have also started using the Sharp IR sensors (GP2D120XJ00F) and have found them to work well for ball detection. Thanks for sharing the tidbit regarding electrical isolation -- we'll be getting them inspected on the robot for the first time tomorrow at the North Carolina Regional and didn't realize we'd need to isolate them from ground. Your sharing of that info will definitely help us out tomorrow. Thanks!
