How could your list not have potentiometer? They are probably one of the most used sensors in FIRST. This year we only have potentiometers and rotary encoders (also not on the list) on the robot, unless the CMU cam counts.

Sorry. I should have listed pots and the CMUcam on the list. We are using both on our robot. It looks like there isn't a way to edit the poll though. I put optical mice on the list because quite a few people seemed to be working on it past years. I was (and still am) curious how many people, if any, got it to work.
We were using the AB photoswitch to detect balls coming into our harvester, but we never really tested it, and so we took it off to make weight. We are using the CMUcam for auto-targeting, in both regular and autonomous mode (and it actually works!
) We decided not to use encoders or a gyro this year, since precicse navigation didn't seem as important with the camera.
I am speechless......but I will think of something by the time it becomes an obvious candidate for the photo caption contest. - Rich Wong [more]
