Different anecdote:

The only sensors 1538 added to their bot for the 2015 season were encoders. They used current sensing for limits. Even with all of its complexity, this is what their wiring looked like.

It takes time to develop current-based limits. They don't work if a team decides to try them out for the first time on the robot in week 6.
