P.S.
My mind had them at $30 or so, but looking on the Future website they are more like $50 (and that is in a "tray" where you may have to buy 20 - ouch!). The ones pre-mounted on a PCB are almost $100. Pretty tough to use them at that price!

I KNOW Newark has them in my catalog, but I can't find them on their website (man their part number search could use some cleverness built into it -- dumb as a post, it is). If I find it in a old catalog and they sell it to me at that listed price, do you suppose I could still use it legally? -- I suppose not. Why does FIRST even HAVE that $200 electronic limit? Why not have a limit on what you can spend on bushings? It makes about as much sense.

Looks like Digi-key has the chips too. $50 is the going rate for the sensor in a surface mount package. I hope I can afford one or two.


the ones u wrote about r just chips. how do u plan to put them up on the robot??
if u have any info plz post it.
