MaxBotix Inc., had completed an application note that may help teams use the MaxSonar ultrasonics sensors in the 2011 FIRST competition. This note covers using the sensors for pole detection, distance, and direction to align the minibot for placement on the pole.
Please click this link to view the web page with the application note

In addition, we have applications notes listed on the webpage above on how to run more than one MaxSonar sensor at a time.
We wished each FIRST team the best of luck with their bot!
