Don't use a resistor when connecting it to the robot. Just give it 12 volt power on the blue wire, common on the brown one, and run either white or black to a digital input signal pin on the Digital Sidecar. There's already a pullup to 5 volts on that pin, and it will read the sensor's output just fine as it is.

And to think I'd just remembered that last year's sensors had no pullups when they were wired... >_<

Thanks; I'll be sure to make sure this gets done tomorrow.

So you hook the Brown+ and Blue - up to the 12 V powerdist. Board with a 20 Amp breaker and then you connect the white wire to the white wire of a PWM and then to the digital Sicard
Blue -> ( - )
Brown -> PWR
White or Black -> SIG
