We were able to hook up some sensors to last years robot and found that there was little to no jumpiness in them.

However the bot was somewhat slow at 3-5 fps, and getting that to work right was hard. I can imagine any team that is looking for 10+ fps to line track is going insane getting that to work.

The problem i found with the sensors is that they really don't pick up the reflective tape at a distance large enough to be worth using. aka tote seeking. though the cool factor is through the roof on something like that it's difficult to imagine it being reliable. The sensors are fairly reliable at a short distance like that used for line tracking. So it is possible that some teams may have perfected such a code.
