Re: Bad readings from the maxbotics sonar

We found that there is different backscatter in the beam depending on if you're sensing over carpet vs. sensing over linoleum.

Using a narrow-beam sensor or mounting the sensor > 18" form the ground solved the more general backscatter problem for us, mostly.
