Okay so brainstorming a bit with some friends about this years FTC game Ring It Up! We came up with 2 easy ways of measuring the different rings and seeing that it is probably the most difficult aspect of this years teleop period I thought I would share and hear what everyone else has to say.

Option 1: Using a current sensor; If a motor needs to work harder to pick up a ring that must mean its heavier so if you measure the amperage the motor is drawing and having that read into a light that turns on or off depending on if the sensor trips.

Option 2: Use a weaker actuator on an arm that cant pick up a weighted. This is a solution for both motors and pneumatic's.

Yes I am biased towards opinion one that is why there is more text. I am anxious to here your ideas?
