We used this https://www.adafruit.com/products/1075 pressure sensor from Adafruit. The idea was to use it to detect how stiff the ball was and adjust shooter RPM accordingly. However, we were never able to get the sensor to give us consistent enough values to be useful so that functionality was never used in competition.
