Re: Which sensors should be used throughout the robot?

We use encoders on the wheels and prefer limit switches on elevators and beam breaks to track game pieces. The Grayhill encoders are pretty tough and smooth. This year we used hall effects from wcproducts and loved them. For beam breaks we like the Optek OPB720B family. We are getting away from mechanical limit switches unless we can protect them so there is no bending or stress. Going past the optical or hall effect sensors is not as big a problem as mechanical sensors.

Finally the maxbotix sensors are great for ultrasound ranging and the ADXRS453 the best gyros (at a reasonable cost) we've used lately.
