	Possible conflict with Electronics Stackexchange. – Rocketmagnet Aug 15 '12 at 20:15
	perhaps. but by that logic a lot of this will conflict with either Electronics or Stack Overflow. Robotics is a mixture of things and I don't think you will finds any questions that could not fall into some other SE – thecoshman Aug 21 '12 at 8:59
	@thecoshman - True, but things which are obviously better on another site (like pure unix questions on the Raspberry Pi site) should be there. This seems to be working well on Raspberry Pi, so I would recommend that policy here too. If migrations are done well, you get the best of both worlds - you leverage the expertise on the bigger site and get the question effectively answered on both sites (since it stays in the question list of the originating site). – Mark Booth Aug 31 '12 at 9:26

Too broad. And it's a shopping question. – Rocketmagnet Aug 23 '12 at 10:50

@Rocketmagnet maybe the supplier part could be like a shopping question, but I think that the sample code part would be nice. Maybe this question could be extended and linked to some tutorials. – alcor Aug 23 '12 at 13:46

@alcor - But it's still way too broad. He's asking for an indefinitely long list of available sensors. Stackexchange is not a catalogue. – Rocketmagnet Aug 23 '12 at 13:59

@Rocketmagnet ok, you're right. – alcor Aug 23 '12 at 14:13

@stwissel try to reduce the scope – alcor Aug 23 '12 at 14:13

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

	Too listy. Needs to be more specific. – Rocketmagnet Aug 15 '12 at 10:40
	Yes, this is a too vague to help define the scope of this site. – Robert Cartaino Aug 16 '12 at 15:10

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

	No right or wrong answer, and even as a community question, it is poorly defined. It depends on what you're interested in (c.f. "what are the top computer science experts to follow?"). – SuperElectric Aug 14 '12 at 18:26
	thanks for the heads up, I will try to add more definition to my questions – lyncas Aug 16 '12 at 13:47
