How do you connect optical sensor?

Engineer on team #330, Beach Bot, from Hope Chapel Academy and NASA/JPL , J&F Machine, and Raytheon.



The picture on page 12 of the robot section shows the black and white wires connected directly to the switch inputs on the Robot Controller. I was looking at the data sheet included with the sensor (you can also find it online: http://www.baneng.com/pubfiles/63908.pdf) and saw that the sensor requires a load on the black and white wires. My question is, does the robot controller provide this load, in which case we wire the sensor exactly as is shown in the competition manual, or do we need to provide a load?

Has anyone hooked their's up yet?
