Banner Sensor as encoders on a Arm?

I was wondering if it will be possible to use the banner sensors(from last year) as encoders on slow moving assemblies such as arms. This could be done by putting white and black stripes on a sprocket and than keep track of the changing stripes to calculate the relative position of the arm.

Tell me if you think this is possible, also please tell me if this would be leagal to use previous year's banner sensors.
