Title: Penguin Robot Seeing Eye Dog
Code Name: penguin_seeing_eye_dog.bpx
Purpose: Create a Penguin Robot Seeing Eye Dog

Penguin Seeing Eye Dog
uses ultrasonics and sound to report the
relative locations of objects in the path. The sound range is
from 0 to 9 feet. Closest objects make a higher pitch sound while
objects farther away make a lower pitch sound. The sound
changes with each foot of distance.

Take Penguin Dog with you when walking in total darkness to
report the location of walls, tables, and objects in the path.
' The distance in feet is also reported directly to the segment
' display for testing and calibration purposes. Note the display
' is not limited to 9-feet and will report distances greater.
' Since built in numerical capacity of the segment display limits
' numbers from 0 to 9-feet, a distance of 10 feet or greater
' will result in displaying a graphic character.
