  this holds an hc-sr04 sonar sensor to a 3/16 inch deck.
  http://fritzing.org/projects/hc-sr04-project
  it can hold the sonar sensor either facing down, or forwards.
  when facing down, it can detect if it passes over the edge of a table.
  when facing forwards, it can detect and follow something in front of it.
