Forgive me. I don't think I wrote clearly.

What I will PROBABLY do is simply mount three PING)) sensors solidly to the front of the machine at angles to one another such that I can cover the forward, say, 90*, or so. I'll activate one on the side, read it, then the front one, read it, and then the one on the other side and read it. I may not sweep back the other direction. Instead I'm thinking I could just start over as outlined above.

Another thing that seems neat to me is the idea of making each PING)) a smart sensor, somewhat along the lines I followed with the BS2p40 and the four OEM-BS2 Stamps that formed the brains of [b]Ugly Buster[/b] and then [b]RC Buster[/b]. I think a "fast" Stamp dedicated to each PING)) would do this nicely.

However, the programming issue involving the servo and PING)) and the LCD (I don't really need the LCD, but I thought it would be neat to look at while the robot pings around) intrigues me, especially since I don't seem to be able to do it! :)

So, I am going to follow your advice tomorrow, first!
