Ultrasonic rangers for obstacle avoidance

[Stuart]

aahh young padawon( I say this cause this is what Ive been doing for the last week day in day out hour in hour out). yes it is a valid concept.

the things you will want to look at are . . finding the right shape of sensor set up vs your drive chain. little hint unless your a crab drive think stop sign not street sign. as far as what sensors to use and beam width . . well think of the shape of your chassis vs the blind spots each beam will have. you also may want to think about mixing brands of sensors . . will some places on your bot not need much coverage while others not so much? . . that sort of thing.


and as to not take away any of the fun your about to have Ill leave any more hints and tips to PMs if you want/need some help.
