We didn't use any of them this year, due to not having had any aspects of the robot which needed a small, lightweight motor. However, if the RS-385 motors had been in the kit last year, we definitely would have used them for the "hand" of the robot instead of the servo motors we used (which turned out to be underpowered for the task.)

Ultrasonic sensors will allow you to do fundamentally the same thing that the bump sensors do...so you can slow down and smoothly stop your robot just before it reaches the end wall, instead of running into it at full speed and then figuring out "ohh! there is a wall there!" - dlavery [more]
