Field of View Experiment

In the Field of View Experiment we laid down a meter long piece of tape on the ground. By using the Ultrasonic sensor we could see how far away the object is. We set up a can in different areas along the tape on each side. We tried to place the can the farthest to either side of the tape and still get a result from the NXT. We put a peice of tape as a marker underneath the can so we can mark out a grid. The farther out we put the can the wider it could go and still get read by the ultrasonic sensor. There was a certain point away from the NXT where it stopped going farther to the side and start heading closer to the tape. Our results show that the NXT's ultra sonic sensor cant see that far to the side. Its max point to where it saw the furthest to the side was at about 1/2 meter.
