Re: Which sensors do you really use?

On the fun side my dad just bought me a PIR sensor today. I'm probably going to use that to wake my robot up when someone turns on the lights or something like that. There is also SONAR sensors that I've used to judge the distance of objects like walls and table legs. I've also used an IR sensor for line tracking with lego robotics.
