SENSORS:

Photoelectric sensor tells RC when robot is close enough to wall to release balls. In autonomous mode, robot knows to release balls, during human operation, lights illuminate on the Operator Interface to indicate to the operator that the robot is close enough to release the balls into the goal.

The Allen Bradley photoelectric sensors detect when a ball crosses its path, this sends a signal to the RC which then activates the rollers of the ball pick up system to spin. This allows for optimum battery conservation and effective ball retrieval.
