Re: Best way to detect a bot

In my order of preference,
Radar, camera, ultrasonic. Magnetic sensors will be confused by rebar in the floor of most competition sites, heat will not have built up to a detectable level during auton, RF levels at such short distances will likely not give adequate collision avoidance.
