Re: Mounting Maxbotix rangefinders
Our solution was to use thick double stick tape to leave them exposed, but we also mounted them 6 inches inside the robot from the edge of the bumpers/frame.

We did that because the ranger reports everything 6 inches and closer as 6 inches therefore we would know that at a reading of 6 inches we were right up against what ever the object is.
