Re: Measuring motor speed

The responses time for that photo sensor is .5ms to 1ms depending on model, so calculate how fast your wheel changes states.
and make sure to power them off the solenoid bumper running fromn the protected 24v source, otherwise normal robot power dips will make them inoperable or flakey at best.
