If you look on the video, at the front of the "lid", there are 3 ultrasonic sensors we are trying to use for obstacle avoidance. They are currently getting too many false positives, we're guessing, from the floor. We will try to improve it more tomorrow at GSR.  |
All I got to say is, it may not be the fastest bot at GSR, nor the only one with a SONAR collision avoidance system 
Best of luck guys, we'll see you at GSR.
BTW, very nice 'bot.
