How should we wire the photoswitchs?

This is to Al S. and Hugh.
Thanks for keeping this idea alive.
In our tests we were using a FRC battery on a test robot. We did not pay any attention to the battery level at the beginning of the tests and immediately after the sensor started to work they blocked the wheels off the ground and started testing how the sensor code effected the drive motors (new loads).

Hugh has shown quite graphically that we may need stabilization. Our IR sensors start to fail at about 10v.
Hugh, do you have any graphs or history of current on that machine ?
What was the measurement point ? (CRIO's output of voltage I'm assuming)
