Re: What sensors are used to detect the hot LED lights on the FRC field?
We are using a photoelectric IR sensor. We will dead reckon before the match, it acts as a digital input and sends true when it sees the retro reflective tape. False if otherwise, process of elimination... If False then 1 goal is hot, if true, the other is hot. Simple elegant solution... If we don't have to use vision... we find every way not to. although some years we can't get around it... (i.e. 2012).
