Photogate Sensor

This photogate sensor, which plugs into either of the Sensor ports on the Camera Axe, detects when something passes between the gate. Great for detecting well aimed bullets, water droplets, or anything that can pass through the 0.4 inch gap. This functions very similar to the light sensor and the laser, but this plugs into a single sensor port and is easier to setup for small objects.

Here's an example picture captured with this sensor. It is a milk droplet.
