What sensors do your teams use

I've seen a number of resources online of various qualities, but it would be nice to see a single published whitepaper that describes how to design a robot sensing system from top to bottom.

Challenges with such a document:

• Keeping it up to date with changing technologies and parts availability.
• Satisfying a large range of audiences.

I'd expect some mentors or students don't want to think about sensing system design much, and just need a quick answer as to "what should I use for situation XYZ". Others will have this design experience, and just aren't familiar with what's commonly used for FRC...

Perhaps a community-maintained wiki for this (and other topics) is an option? I haven't seen one yet, although I haven't looked very hard either...

EDIT: After a brief amount of searching, I came across https://firstwiki.github.io/wiki/tech , but it looks like there is plenty of work to be done still.
