I can't comment on the sensors, but I do have experience w/the balls. The balls
are of good quality, well-balanced, and they are a brilliant IR source.
(Standard light sensors see them just fine.) However, battery life is quite
short (approx. 30 min/charge), and they are extremely easy to accidentally leave
on. They are also quite difficult for a robot to control. As soon as a robot
bumps into one, the ball skitters away. A playing surface such as astroturf
that slows the balls may help.
Regards,
Tom

| Thanks to both Tom & Bernard for your input. I noticed they have a roboball compass. Have you incorporated this with the RCX brick?
