Tape Sensing
Five tape sensors (three in front, two under center) sat in the undercarriage of our robot, detecting the lines of black tape on the playing field. These sensors allowed our robot to slow down before we would run into a wall, and also ensured a consistent distance from the hoop for every shot.
An additional tape sensor was used to detect when a ball was waiting at our ball-release gate.
