replacement photo sensor

[wiiking123]

Recently, our team misplaced one of our photo sensors, leaving us with only 2. We attempted to find a place to purchase a new one, but the only place with the EXACT same part (42EF-P2MPB-A2) was ebay. Since we are not allowed to purchase items from ebay due to the way our money is handled, is there any other source to buy a new sensor/ what could be an equal replacement? The website that FIRST stated would sell replacement parts did not actually sell the part at all

Or you can still do line following with 2 sensors. You can even do it with one (edge following).

Here is a link to the how to purchase page on Rockwell Automation's web site:

Hope this helps,
