by the way the rover actually has hazard sensors on the front and back to prevent that from happening. if they sense an impending collision the robot will automatically cease movement until it receives additional instructions i believe.
hahhaa just a little fact
...all that matters in my opinion is how much personal growth each one of you all achieve from being a part of this wonderful organization known as the FIRST robotics program. - Elgin Clock [more]
