QR code integration Submitted The critter needs to be able to read QR codes and compartmentalize that information on the site in a useful way. The code for reading the QR codes is already available and it has already been tested on the critter cam.

Bump sensors Submitted Physical bump sensors need to be designed, configured, and activated on each of the 4 sides of the critter to detect bumps and force the critter to immediately stop and prevent future movement in that direction.

IR proximity trigger sensors Submitted In addition to the bump sensors, install several IR proximity sensors that will not measure distance but trigger if the critter is too close to a surface to prevent movement in that direction. The rangefinder will then no longer be used for collision detection and just mapping
