Device Information

Theory of Operation

The demo program displays how the Stingray can avoid obstacles using the ultrasonic sensors. The

Stingray can maintain a course of forward progress and can be programmed to perform a various number

of other tasks while still keeping the proper distance; if stuck in a corner or similar type obstruction then

the Stingray will spin while finding the best option. Once you have verified that everything works and is

functional; continue and enjoy creating your custom applications.

Precautions



Do not rely solely on the PING))) sensors to see an object to halt operation; if you feel there is

any way of possible damage to either the robot or bodies, please exercise extreme caution while

using the Stingray Robot. If you have any questions, feel free to contact technical support to get

any questions answered.
