Okay i can give you a little more info. I am tring to get my bot to stop at=
the edge of a table or other object before fall off. My current edge Dete=
ctor is a basically a regular sensor (the one found at http://www.beckingha=
m.com/)that must be touching the table for the bot to move. The problem is =
that for this to work I need to lean the bot against the sensor which means=
when this bot reaches an edge the bot still falls off the edge because it =
no longer has that support. (Without making the bot lean on the sensor it t=
end to lift of a suface and stop the bot in the middle of a table.)
