### Exercise 3 ### Exercise 3
It is possible to measure a distance of 254 cm when placing the NXT on the floor 254 cm away from a large wooden box with a smooth uniform surface. It also requires a surface which is orthogonal with the sensor.

Using the speed of sound (340,29 m/s) and the max distance of 255 cm we can calculate the time limit of the sensor: Using the speed of sound (340,29 m/s) and the max distance of 255 cm we can calculate the time limit of the sensor:
