Re: Photosensor/spacing

We have 5/2 inches and it's working fine. We're doing a mecanum drive though, so we're just strafing instead of turning.

I programmed it so that when no sensors are on the line, it just keeps going in the direction it was going, which will bridge it.

I guess it does make sense to have them closer together, maybe as much as one inch apart. The reason we went with the larger spacing is so that we could detect the Y, which is a problem. However, it's all about finding the balance.
