like the potentiometer and the yaw sensor and gyro sensor(dunno if there one in the same) and the current sensors and optical and so on.

so what there useful for and anything u feel is important about them would be appreciated

I think this is a great idea for the offseason. My team's robot does not have any sensor's either, so it would be a great learning experience for yourself, your team, and especially your rookies to do this. It would even get your programmers some good experience with sensors (something i definitely need) I might even look into setting up something like this.

What exactly are potentiometers used for in robotics? I've heard of teams using them but I don't really know what for.
