Re: Distance sensor for the RCX?

I was thinking ultrasonic because I'd like to have consistent readings in any light. Another thing with an IR sensor is that it'd give you a higher reading with a more reflective surface, telling the RCX that it's closer to a wall than it actually is, which could very well lead the robot to do somet...
