Re: POLL: What sensors do you use

Team 1425's Robot (2004)
-2 limit switches on the top and bottom of our chain slider, so the chain wouldn't go too far and break the turnbuckles (it did it twice before we put them in.)
-2 more limit switches set up to bounce on a hex bolt, to act as encoders (tacky, yes, but we didn't have time for anything else.)
-1 potentiometer, used for the sole purpose of changing programming variables on the fly.
-1 standard switch, used for turning Autonomous mode from left to right to
off.
-1 pressure transducer, to detect when we could use all 60 psi to lift.
-(almost) 2 current sensors, but they were being stupid.

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
