Re: Which sensors do you really use?
Our current robot uses five sonar distance sensors, two gear tooth sensors, and an accelerometer. Amazingly it uses pretty much all of these already. Usually we put five thousand sensors on the robot and they don't get used for quite awhile. This year they were almost all used right away.
The distance sensors are for obstacle avoidance, target tracking, automatic hurdling, and wall hugging. The the Gear tooth sensors and accelerometer are used for drive straight functions, and also our hybrid mode. Plus they are used for a number of other little things.
