gollark: Idea: put the ultrasonic sensor on a servo thing so it can spin and look in different directions.
gollark: I'm mostly just going to write something like "here is the problem we had to solve, here are some things I thought of, here's what's actually been done".
gollark: I think the wheels turn at different speeds.
gollark: If anyone wants it, you can actually just upload it here as it is a small video.
gollark: Aha, it exists now.
