A general sense of direction for navigation?
Does that mean you would treat walls, bumps, towers, and gamepieces just as obstacles?
Or would you compare the data to where you are on the field, to determine what is a bump, what is a wall, what is a tower, and what must be something else?
Would these sonar and IR generally be angled down, or would they be straight out?

This sounds like an interesting method, and I'd love to see some working code for it. Would you be willing to do that and post your results?
