Re: What sensors do you use?

CMUcam was probably the most important sensor this year.. without it, our turret would have been useless. Limit switches were used to prevent the turret from turning too far, although because of its construction, they weren't really needed.

The gyro was on our robot, but not used for much. It worked, but once we started using 4WD IFI traction wheels, it wasn't needed at all.

Encoder kept the shooter running at the proper speed which resulted in very small delay's between balls.
