Sensors

The sensors we decided to go with are the QTR-1A Reflective Sensors. They have an analog output corresponding to the light reflected onto the sensor. This would allow Frank to distinguish the white line and react accordingly depending on the situation. We are using 4 sharp analog infrared sensors in order to detect the opponent's position.
