Lots of teams use sensors to check wheel speed.

As for the other "Can you" questions you have, you might want to look at the 2009 traction control threads. Short answer is yes, long answer is that it'll be a lot of work and probably not worth it on carpet (given that the floor may or may not be carpet next year). 2009 really saw a lot of development of what you're asking about due to the low-traction floor.
