Re: What sensors do you use?

We're using the CMUCam, gyros, optical quad encoders, potentiometers, reed switches, pressure transducer, kit motor as tachometer, photosensors limit switches, a 10 position switch, and a field position toggle switch.

The fun part? We actually do use all of them a few times over....the not fun part? One breaks half our robot stops working

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
