Sensors


While our bots have three sensor inputs, we are currently only using two: Any other sensors can be attached such as a light sensor.


The rotation sensor is mounted on a simple base constructed from the following pieces:
Directions:
  1. Insert the 4 rod through the rotation sensor. Looking at the sensor from the top, with the connecting wire facing away from you, the wheel will go on the right.

  2. Place the wheel onto the 4 rod, so that it rests against the right side of the rotation sensor.

  3. Put a spacer on both ends of the rod, securing the wheel to the rod.

  4. Take the 8 rod and put 2 caps on the right side.

  5. Push a spacer from the left over to the right against the two caps.

  6. Slide the rod through the axial mounth so that the spacer and two caps are to its right.

  7. Place a cap to the left of the axial mount, securing it in place.

  8. Then place a spacer on the left side, next to the cap.

  9. Attach the axial mount to the end of the rotation sensor without the wheel.

  10. This rotation sensor piece is attached to the driving base.
