I apologize for not making clear that I am not a robot competition team member. I am an amateur scientist. When I saw the post involving optical mice, which predate laser mice, I was hoping to ask some questions of anyone who has done the kind of hardware and software work necessary to use a laser mouse for data acquisition.

The poster seemed to be saying that this work had been done. Namely direct hardware interface with the mouse DSP.
