Possibly looking at NumPy for Matrix Stuff

Obstacle Detection
- ultrasonic seems to be the best sensor type for our project (cheap and good accuracy for the price)
- current idea: get 4 ultrasonic sensors - one for each side (similar to this one: https://www.rapidonline.com/TruSens-HC-SR504-Ultrasonic-Ranging-Module-74-1109?IncVat=1&pdg=pla-338874290361:kwd-338874290361:cmp-757438067:adg-44804851896:crv-207912323492:pid-74-1109:dev-c&gclid=Cj0KCQiAnY_jBRDdARIsAIEqpJ0E0diynsNzqcFsCsgdvcQ81UGwOLMHfALfWC1bBzScim6OY21h89oaAvDvEALw_wcB)
- connect them similar to as it's shown in this video (https://www.rapidonline.com/TruSens-HC-SR504-Ultrasonic-Ranging-Module-74-1109?IncVat=1&pdg=pla-338874290361:kwd-338874290361:cmp-757438067:adg-44804851896:crv-207912323492:pid-74-1109:dev-c&gclid=Cj0KCQiAnY_jBRDdARIsAIEqpJ0E0diynsNzqcFsCsgdvcQ81UGwOLMHfALfWC1bBzScim6OY21h89oaAvDvEALw_wcB) - should also work with the Phidget board and PI instead of Arduino
- I'll talk to Garry about this tomorrow

Looks like the sensor is also available from one call/farnell.

Is that the page we should use for buying stuff?
I'll definitely talk to Garry about specifics tomorrow
