As posted in this thread, a pair of 75 amp Allegro current sensors were in the 2004 KOP. See the link

for product information, specification sheets, and links to buy evaluation kits.
Whether or not you can actually use these on your 2006 robot depends upon whether they are in the 2006 KOP, or if they are available from an allowed vendor of electronic parts as defined by the 2006 rules. Refer to the technical documentation for a power bypass capacitor recommendation and cautions with regard to resistive and capactive loading of the output signal. Remember that your current signal is likely to be unsteady, as for the pulse width modulated control delivered by a Victor, and you will either need to condition the signal with analog electronics or you will have to process the signal appropriately with the robot controller.
