== Sensors Team == The Sensors sub-team draws from both software and electrical students and is responsible for giving the robot the ability to sense its environment. Students on this team learn how to mount sensors on the robot, connect them to the control system, read environmental data from them, and provide that data to higher level software. For example, using a laser rangefinder to determine distance to an object or an optical encoder to determine the position of a mechanical arm. * [wiki:Sensors/OverviewTraining Overview] * [wiki:ControlSystems/Sensors/Ultrasonic Ultrasonic Distance Sensors] * [wiki:Sensors/Training Sensor Training] * [wiki:Sensors/Projects Projects] === Resources and Reference Materials === * [https://1418.team/assets/resources/workshops/2018/Sensors.pdf Introduction to Sensors] * [https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/4485/m/13809/l/599710-wpilib-sensor-overview WPILib Sensors Overview] * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dCwbZ-xYgY FRC Sensors Overview video] * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O14g02RIrjY Quadrature Encoders]
