Re: Depth Perception

Our team wants to do that, but upon reflection and research, we feel that the camera or "laser" sensing method is not consistently reliable enough. We thought of a filtered gyroscope - accelerometer system, but we don't have the time and manpower to finish it before our first regional. So, we are doing without. But reliability is going to be a problem, no matter what almost - incomprehensible algorithms you use.
