Picking the right distance sensor for micro sumo robot

Hello everyone,
I am making my university project that is to build from scratch a micro sumo robot using arduino.
My Question is , If i choose an IR distance sensor and both ,me and my opponent, using IR sensors for distance couldn't interference each other and making miss calculations?
Awaiting your answers :smile:

How to win at war: Use the device least likely to be used by an opponent AND mount and activate every sensor you can find, and send random signals on the unused devices. Your opponents projects will burn in ruins and they will have a giant cry as you drink their tears from the champion's cup. "Countermeasures."

Yup, Pololu no ka oi.

What if your opponent is using ultarsound, same problem

Yeah was gonna mention this earlier, but a ping sensor seems bit hulky given only have a 5x5cm box to work with. But then you can't beat the classic-look of having one mounted.

Highly recommend browsing Pololu's entire website, particularly the sensor offerings. Dive into the libraries provided for their Zumo line, and yes, they all work flawlessly. Adapt and conquer.

All the best.
