Increase footbot proximity sensor range

Hello,
Is there any way to increase the footbot proxmity sensor's range? (so obstacles from further away can be detected). If so, then how?
Thanks in advance!

Not without recompiling the code of the robot you're using, unfortunately.

I understand. Could I get some guidance as to what exactly needs to be modified in order to achieve this? I looked through the code and couldn't exactly find it.
Thanks in advance!

In the meantime I found where the code needs to be changed in order to achieve what I'm trying to do. Thanks anyways, I'm posting the solution so if anyone else encounters such a problem, they can find the solution quickly
In the footbot_entity.cpp the PROXIMITY_SENSOR_RING_RANGE constant determines the length of the proximity sensor. By increasing this, the sensor range is increased as well.

Maybe you can use the distance_scanner to achieve the same function
