Optical sensors with EduBot
Is there any good way to power a banner sensor/optical sensor with the EduBot? We could connect it in the same way that we would for the RC, but we are worried about whether the ground pin on the EDU-Rc could accept the 7.2 volts from the battery, instead of the 5 volts sent by the signal pin. The banner sensors work on 7.2 volts, but they do not work on 5 (6.6 is about the limit).
