 Just got our robot crate back. The FedEx driver told me he was watching the robotics competition online and asked how our team did. He knew about Team 27 and 469. We must be doing a great job in Michigan promoting FIRST if a FedEx driver watch FRC matches online and was excited talking about it. - Ed Law [more] |

Re: Ultrasonic Sensors
no, they wont give you and angular info. They will only give you the shortest distance read within the beam pattern. If you want to get angle info you can use two of these sensors (they will need to sound at different times to not get them confused) and by knowing the distance between the two sensors you can use trig to get angle info. We are thinking about using the camera to track the goal and then use the sonar to range. might be more accurate than the camera ranging.

Re: Ultrasonic Sensors
ok, my only worry, is with that beam width, it will cause me to get scewed results if my target is at an angle.
Thanks for all the helf.
