Re: Which sensors should be used throughout the robot?
I don't know what brand/model specifically we use, but:
Drivetrain - Encoders
Elevator - Combination of Encoder and String Potentiometer, as well as Limit Switches to detect the ends and to zero/calibrate
Flywheels - IR/Photo Sensors
Proximity (detecting whether there is a tote/can in the robot or not) - Ultrasonic and/or IR/Photo Sensors
We also used a Limit Switch last year to determine when our catapult had returned to its starting position. The most common sensor we use is definitely IR/Photo (other than the encoders on the drivetrain) because they're so versatile.
