H2. Enhancements
• Only scan left and right up to 90 degrees the first time
• Stop every 10 degrees when scanning to make sure scan detects vehicle (moving too fast doesn’t work)
• Use movement sensor to detect a collision or the bot lifted off the ground (pitch or roll) and respond to that
(see Appendix 1)
• If motion is stopped for x seconds, use a series of rapid wheel movements (e.g. back and forth) to try and get
free
• Use a different strategy:
▪ Follow white line around the outside (use L2 or R2)
▪ Drive to a random place
▪ Drive forward until white line and turn and randomly go somewhere else until white line
• Use more than one ultrasonic sensor at different angles
