Sensors needed:

4 Encoders: one for each wheel
Magnetic potentiometer: for kicker
Gyro: to be able to drive straight
Banner sensor: to know we have possession of the ball
Limit switch(s): to know when lift arm is extended
Limit switch(s): for tip over mechanism
Camera
- will only tilt
- mount about 24" height
- gave dimensions to mechinal team
