I wonder if I can fit it in my car to help me in parallel parking :)

You can actually get pretty good distance readings from the Ping — I found it to be surprisingly accurate…and cheap!

The robot didn’t fire any physical projectiles, did it? It’s all just auggie lasers I think.

I don’t see your issue around the robot firing that could be scripted in various ways..

Must say that I really like the interface
