Subject: Edge Detector
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
Detector is a basically a regular sensor (the one found at
http://www.beckingham.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 tend to lift of a suface and stop the bot in the middle of
a table.)
