Today we looked into what type of sensors we could use. We were mostly looking at sensors for navigation purposes. The types of sensors we are interested in are ping sensors, GPS sensors, accelerometers, and possible light/color sensors.
This link gave us a list of different sensors we could use for the arduino board: http://arduino.cc/playground/Main/InterfacingWithHardware
It has different categories of sensors, and under each category is a list of different parts along with tutorials and helpful links for some of the parts.
This link has more information on some of the sensors we were looking at (accelerometers and IMUs)

We also have some parallax sensors here at hood that we will also look into.
This is the sensor list we have compiled so far:
