Re: Vex Sensors on FRC Bots?

We used the Vex ultrasonic last year to sense when we could pick up a ball, a micro switch for fork placement and the encoder attached to a Vex wheel for measuring distance for the autonomous section.

This year we are using the Vex pot as the sensor on where our shooter is postitioned. I have a quad encoder to test next week, it may become our position device.

I like the Vex senors since they come with mountings and are a little more forgivable to abuse. It's also a never ending source of amusement to me to have "little bot" components on the "big bot".
