Vex Sensors for FRC

Would these sensors work on a FRC robot?

Re: Vex Sensors for FRC

The sensors on the vex page should work, but the wire has the wrong connector. All you would have to do is cut off the end on the sensor and put a different one on from a cut PWM cable or something.

Re: Vex Sensors for FRC

Yeah those will work.

The only things needed to use them are:

1. different connector

2. Programmig to interpret the sensor correctly (ie: for the ultrasonic)

But, there are people who have documented using these in the past, you just need to google for the info....
