Re: Sensors!

Don't forget about:

Temperature sensor (thermocouple), I bet there's a team out there at some point who put this on a robot.

Light Sensor.. True a camera could do this as well, but a simple light sensor can be straightforward to program as long as you calibrate at the competition venue.

And then there was the IR beacon in 2004 (basically a light sensor).
