You could have the pi send I2C(not sure if Pi does this), analog voltage proportional to a distance or even use DIO to use timing and see how long the time between pulses is (similar to what a true ultrasonic does)..

many options....I'm not too good with network tables but you could also use network tables as an option..

EDIT: and yes you could put your classmate on the robot
