OK. if you line up your LX sensors in a V looking at the top of your bot...
(bad ascci art)
1 7
2 6
3 5
4
xxxxxxxxx

R O B O T

then a line to the left will gradually fire off sensors 4 then 3 then 2 then 1
(assuming you drive OVER it then correct for it later)
BUT a ZIG to the left will fire off 1 through 4 almost at once.
This idea is JUST that, an idea, and will need to be battle tested.
