1. Can you read sensor' while your in the "move ahead" mode?

No problem.  The motors are turned on, and you can forget about 'em,
until you want to stop.  Read sensors, do other math, and the robot

2. Will it appear to the outsider as a fluid motion or will the robot
move-stop-poll sensors-move-stop etc.?

Very fluid.  Turns will be an issue, you will have to work that out.

3. Software guys kind of worried...wants to know approx. how much
memory it will take to run a program that directs a robot performing
this kind of search routine and incorporates the sensors previously
mentioned.

He is probably familiar with Windows software that needs 2 megabytes
to be useful.  Naw, no problem.  32K should be more than enough, if
you are careful, and don't store too much history.
