What sensors do your teams use

[DaveL]

I too would like to help my team improve their use of encoders.

I'm most interested in encoders that could be used for flywheel shooters that don't require any machining to install. In 2012, I remember teams used light emitting sensors to count light and dark marks on a spinning disk.

Are these still viable?
If so, which ones work well (high reliability, easy installation, non-contacting) and are reasonably priced?
