Sensors

Kit includes a pair of simple limit switch sensors custom built for the VEX Robotics Design System. Switches send a signal to the Microcontroller when they are triggered. These switches are great for signaling when a robot arm has reached the top or bottom of its motion.

• Provide feedback to Microcontroller as events "happen"

• Bendable sheet metal switch "arm" is very versatile

• Useful as a trigger in a variety of applications

• Functionality is pre-programmed in the VEX Microcontroller

Kit includes a pair of simple bumper switches custom built for the VEX Robotics Design System. Ruggedized Bumpers allow the switch to be triggered by large impacts without sustaining damage.

• Provide feedback to Microcontroller as events "happen".

• Rugged bumpers allow switch to be triggered without damage.

• Useful as a trigger in a variety of applications.

• Functionality is pre-programmed in the VEX Microcontroller.

Program your robot to follow a black line over a white surface. This kit provides more design flexibility--you can also use it to program your robot for light sensing. A Programming Kit is needed to change the program in the VEX Controller.

• Navigate down a marked path.

• Use for light sensing.

• More autonomous function.

With the Potentiometer you can determine both position and direction of rotation. Use this sensor to get an analog measurement of angular position. This measurement can help to understand the position of robot arms or other mechanisms. A Programming Kit is needed to change the program in the VEX Controller to use the Potentiometer.

• Measure Angular Position.

• 250-Degrees of Adjustment.

• Adjustable mounting angle.
