Re: Range Finder?

In the 2014 Aerial Assist game my team and I tried to use Ultrasonic sensors, but with no luck. The Ultrasonic sensor could not get a constant reading, and would often jump from 15ft to only a few inches which would triggers safeties and our launch system. So unless we were just unlucky with our three sensors ( all failed) I would say to avoid them. Maxbotix was the brand, I'm interested to see if the VEX Range Finder works better, and will pitch it to my team.
