Detectors for the robot
Hey guys I was wondering if we could use off the shelf photo switches or any other type of sensors to detect objects? I know last year we got some photo switches in the kit and was wondering if we could use those this year and maybe some other detectors. We aren't sure about those details. Any help would be awesome! Thanks team 1778

Re: Detectors for the robot
See the flowchart in <R48> to determine if what you have in mind is legal. My interpretation is that COTS photoswitches are indeed legal.

Re: Detectors for the robot
They definitely should be, as long as it can interface with the PIC and it's less than $200, it should be fair game.
