With sumo wrestling robots, I find that the high freqency noise from the
robots and motors tends to confuse the recievers, expecially the metallic
impact and collateral damage :)

The ring is small enough that, though sonar is useful, greater success
has come from feelers, optical, and infra-red sensors.

imho

Hi All,
I am making a Sumo Wrestling Robot at university.  the robot is totally
autonomous, and I was wondering if sonic transducers were the best for
"seeing" another moving robot.  Range is not necessary but desireable in
the sensor.  Previous robots of this kind have used the sonic
transducers and I was wondering if there was anything better?  I have
checked on the net but its very hard to find any information unless you
know where to look.
Thanks.
