That s-pot was key to our success at MAR Champs especially considering the vision/dashboard problems we had during the competition. The s-pot allowed us to move our tilt table to preset positions on the fly rather than eyeing it up with a camera when we get to the goal. It was easy to integrate into the robot and software too, took care of it Thursday morning.
We also use two other custom sensors we built on the robot too; 1 hall effect sensor on our shooter wheel and break beam IR sensors. Our robot is mechanically simple, the control systems really enhance it.
