The PNP part makes it harder to connect to a FRC robot. If it were NPN instead, it could be wired directly to a Digital Input. As it is, you'll need to add some simple circuitry to reduce the output voltage to something that a Digital Input pin will handle, and to pull the signal low when the sensor is not active. It's just a couple of resistors; I think a 5k from the DIO signal pin to ground and a 7.5k from the DIO signal to the sensor output should work.
