What kinds of sprocket(s) does Lego currently use with tracks?
A long time ago (in decades), I remember a set that used
Caterpillar-link-style tracks, and they used a long-toothed sprocket to
drive the tracks. It might work to put one of those sprockets in front of
a touch or light sensor, and one would count the "ticks" as the cogs passed
by. Although in practice it might not be any more accurate than the
rotation sensor; one would have to experiment.
Hmm; I wonder if my folks still have those old sets around someplace... :)
