Re: rangefinding/object detection

Our plan for wall-following calls for two side-mounted Maxbotic sonar sensors - keeping the readings similar in value should mean the robot is parallel to the wall. If one reading is significantly larger than the other, a slight turn is called for.

Another (or a pair) of sonar sensors at the front should do for collision-avoidance.
