.....this is also true. Ultrasonics would probably help often, but they aren't a perfect system.
I'll admit I haven't used ultrasonics with the diamond plate on the field (I'll be able to tell you more after week 4), but I find it highly doubtful that the scatter will be so bad that the ~10 foot sensors from MaxBotix wouldn't see the wall at all when the robot is 4 feet away from it. If this is the case, our autonomous routines are going to have some troubles.
