Those wouldn't happen to be ultra-sonic senors.... would they?
I remember seeing them on 190's 2004 machine. They used them to calculate their robot's distance from the second platform in autonomous.

Why yes they are! In fact they look like the Parralax one's but I could be wrong. I'm thinking it's for detecting other robots. That or the distance to the wall.

Oh man!!

I am going to be having nightmares about the CyberKnights killer tank drive with a "seek and destroy" autonomous mode designed to foul up the opposition. I hope we get the chance to be on the same team again!

Hmm, I was going to use banner sensors, but that's a good idea.

Thanks, Tom

I must ask, how did you get the RC to time the pulse width?

Hah, and here I told another "mentor" today that those are useless and no one would use them. I guess I already ate my words =] It would be pretty sweet, like a bat =]
