What the R50 and R10 records carry
The R50 record places the unit beside the tee, lists camera sensing, and carries manufacturer placement instructions instead of numeric clearances. The R10 record places the unit behind the ball, lists radar sensing, and carries two indoor distances. Neither record measures the space a swing needs.
Room checks after the comparison
The R50 placement instructions stay separate from any room number you measure yourself. For the R10, the model-specific space page shows each clearance record with its endpoints. The ceiling validator compares the R10 distances with your own measurements.
