    Hi!

    Which is better for observing distance?
    a)
    Code (CSharp):
    1. sensor.AddObservation(diff.magnitude);
    b)
    Code (CSharp):
    1. float m = diff.magnitude;
    2. sensor.AddObservation(Math.Max(1f,m));
    3. sensor.AddObservation(Math.Max(10f, m)/10f);
    4. sensor.AddObservation(Math.Max(100f, m)/100f);
    My understanding is that observations should be normalized to [-1,1], especially if 
    network_settings > normalize: false
    . My feeling is throw every observation at the network and let it figure out what is relevant.

    Deppends on your case...
    The direction is important? In every axis?
