Sensor for linear distance

Since our team is in possession of the school, we have no restrictions on how late we can be there. So our teams are often practicing into the wee hours of the morning. Also, the school board uses "the breeze" for storage of high jump mats, so it's a great place to nap. :) - Karthik [more]

Sensor for linear distance

So I'm embarking on a project. I am in need of linear sensors for distance traveled. I am looking at the string potentiometer from AndyMark, but would like to know if anyone has experience with any other form.
IR sensors are not going to work for the project as the risk of the sensors getting feedback from another is too high.
