Detailed Description

Action to limit the forwards motion of the robot based on range sensor readings.

This action uses the robot's range sensors (e.g. sonar, laser) to find a maximum speed at which to travel and will increase the deceleration so that the robot doesn't hit anything. If it has to, it will trigger an estop to avoid a collision.

Note that this cranks up the deceleration with a strong strength, but it checks to see if there is already something decelerating more strongly... so you can put these actions lower in the priority list so things will play together nicely.
