We're using an elevator-style indexer on our robot like this with a proximity sensor mounted on the aluminum bar in the lower left corner of that picture, which detects the carbon steel screws on the trays. The prox sensor should stop the lift when the screw is detected, which would put the frisbee in the right location to be injected into the shooter wheels. Noise in the sensor return could then cause the shooter to stop after only a few milliseconds instead of going to the next tray like it's supposed to. If we gave it a command to "go up X slots," noise would again cause it to stop early.

Could you explain a bit more about the de-noising circuits/software implementations?
