How has your experience with the Banner sensors been? Do you have any advice on how to make them work most effectively? They seem like a pretty cheap and simple solution, especially considering the massive quantities we have from past kits. Given the cost differential compared to encoders (free, vs. $40-$50 apiece), would you recommend I try the Banner sensors for my summer project?
