I’m not that great with math, but if the bot moves 1 meter in 1 second, with a 0.5mS response time the sensor should be able to check 2000 times in the 1 meter traveled. Or in other words it can check for an opponent every 0.5mm. For a comparison the Sharp GP2D12 has a 39mS response time and it can only check for an opponent 25.6 times in the one meter traveled, or every 3.9cm. You might think the Sharp would do ok, but when you consider the fact that the opponent is also moving at a fast pace, and the fact that you must filter out spurious possibly false detections, it’s just too slow.
I had to position my floor-looking IR sensors about an inch forward of my front caster on my ASB-13 'bot. That surprised me. I’m also sampling at a 100mS rate. I’ll have to clock it and see how fast it moves. That might explain part of my slower response.
Great! high quality robots( like Fusion) needs high quality sensors ( like ML100-8-1000-Rt) sharps are so slow for japanese style sumo robots youtube.com/watch?v=dtFfx7Jy … ata_player
