An idea

I don't know if anyone has thought of this before, but, the sensors don't have to be used to see the retroreflectors, right? As long as they are perpendicular to a reflective surface, they will work. SO... why not use them keep track of wheel speed? Or positions of rotating pneumatic shafts? Or anything else you can make two colors...
