Robot Mechanical Bumper Sensor (SEN-11999)

DESCRIPTION

The robot mechanical bumper sensor gives you the ability to detect a collision before it really happens. This sensor works by acting as a SPST switch. When the "whisker" bumps into a foreign object it will make contact with a nut next to it, closing the connection and, by default, turning off the motor. By attaching these mechanical bumpers to you robot the whisker will bump something before your robot crashes into it.

The sensor has a 3-pin header which will connect directly to your robot mainboard via jumper wires.

Please Note:
