Sensor Diagram on Docs Page #13

Every time we do an event I get questions about the orientation of the sensors on the roombot. I should just make a diagram of this and put it on the docs page.

Here is a rough sketch of the sensors

The physical bumpers (bumper_left and bumper_right) are built into the physical roomba and take up nearly 45 degrees along the front edge of the roomba.

The light bumpers are infrared detectors which can "see" obstacles at a distance up to 3 inches ahead. I didn't measure the exact degrees from center, but the diagram is pretty close.
