Re: Ultrasonic sensor for 2015 game
I think that if you are trying to do distance calculations, the PulsedLight LIDAR-Lite module would be best. In our experiences it has been more accurate than an ultrasonic sensor, since it uses infrared lasers for distance measurement which are less susceptible to noise/environment variables than ultrasonic sensors.

Here is our LIDAR code in java. We connected the sensor to the I2C port on the MXP since at the time, the RoboRio I2C port was broken. We borrowed the base of the code from here and modified it a little.

It's a hunch, based on engineering intuition; there are too many hard-to-quantify variables to do any accurate calculations. Looking for some experimental corroboration or refutation. - Ether [more]
