Do you want the sensors to be mounted on the robot (and thus sensing the environment - floors, arena boundaries, etc.), or fixtured to the environment (and thus sensing the presence and/or location of the robot)?

I would need to have the sensors mounted on the robot.
Thanks

I dont know what the capabilities of your controller is (roborio or other controller?) But if you have usb ports you might be able to use this.

I really like this idea, is there any way to use this with wheels/encoders. Thanks.

I am trying to design/think of the program for a set of wheels, for X-Y positioning, and I am stuck on getting the formulas. Can anyone help me, or is a 4 wheel design better.
