 Ultrasonic sensors will allow you to do fundamentally the same thing that the bump sensors do...so you can slow down and smoothly stop your robot just before it reaches the end wall, instead of running into it at full speed and then figuring out "ohh! there is a wall there!" - dlavery [more] |

Bumper Rules
so I know that in the rules it says the wood backing of the bumpers can not extend past the corners of the robot.
So here is our situation: our manipulator (in the starting configuration) sticks out in front of the front rail of the chassis (it also stays within the size constraints) Would the wooden backing be allowed to extend to the same distance that the manipulator sticks out? or just to the corner of the chassis? Here is an image of what i am talking about (i am just holding last years bumper in place to show what i mean) http://lh5.google.com/visedan/R6-K9G...JPG?imgmax=512 - Bochek |
