Hi,

I've read thru the Sensors module on the Wiki, which provides a lot of useful information. However, I'm still uncertain what the answer is to the question that originally led me there, so I thought I'd try the list.

If I do something like:

robot.range[0].distance()

and then

robot.range[0].value

I often get very similar answers (even calling distance or value multiple times gives different answers, even if the robot is not moving, presumably b/c the simulation models noise).

Is there a difference between these two? When would one use one versus the other?

Also, is the dead reckoning (e.g. robot.x, robot.y, robot.theta) considered "global" information, or is this "local enough" to the robot to be used by a layer in a subsumption architecture?

As always, thanks,

--b

p.s. I don't have access to robots, so when I ask questions on this list, its always wrt simulated robots.
