Re: Yellow Rotation Sensors ?

No, I'm 99% certain they were yellow. They were not directly attached to any rotating part. I am sure they were using reflected light. If I remember properly, Busy Bee used them aimed against black and white disks attached to their wheels. I believe they could be installed at least 0.5" or more away from the wheel.
