How Does My Distance Finding Method Look?

My original assumption is that the robot is essentially the Bule box in the corner (where the range finder is) and that it is pointed at the wall. I am guessing this is wrong, I think there may be a better way to solve this problem based on how you use your sensors but I need to know more about what I am looking at.

I was thinking about it in school today, yea, my diagram need more info. My goal in teh short term is to be able to render a 3d image on screen with the info I get from the sensor. It sounds complicated but not really. I can get the x, y and z coordinates of the point just using trig.
