Re: Kit item request for 2006

I think any sensors FIRST can provide (personally I would check all of the above) are great to get teams thinking on their feet. While a lot of people had trouble with the CMUcam, I think it was a great learning device, and something that they can spend plenty of time on in the preseason. It didnt take us long to have it following a color target around, but we had to recruit new programmers with 2 weeks left, and had decided to focus on the other autonomous modes.

As an electrical engineer, all of the sensors fascinate me. We tried to get an ultrasonic sensor onto our robot last year, but didnt have enough robot or code space. We will likely try and plan for it this year.
