Chuck,
I'm curious about the diamond pattern. What is the reasoning behind this specific pattern? Also, how far apart are you placing them? And where? Are they at the edge of the 'bot? Centered in the front, rear, left & right of the 'bot? Or closer together? In the center of the 'bot? Toward the front?
Last year we had a linear array of 6 or 7 sensors across the front of our 'bot. It worked. (We used a heuristic assumption that we would be turning either to the right or the left, and then used the sensor input to keep us on the line.) But we decided it wasn't fast enough, and we opted to instead do a blind swoop out and back up the ramp.
