Re: Getting Fancy with Sensors

We are using an extreme amount of sensors. We have ultra-sonic sensors in the front bumper of our robot to detect distance to the stairs. Then, we have two gyro's to detect X motion as well as Z direction motion. Also, we have light sensor, wheel-encoders to count wheel rotations to sense distance traveled. We have numerous potentiometers and countless limit switches. (over 15). Sensors can be very usefull this year.
