Build a robot pass all the checkpoints along a path and reach the end, knocking over a target (such as a can)

Tips For students


Tip: Movements need to be short as indicated in sample programming. In that example, (based on a RED LINE [5]), each movement only goes for 0.16 rotations. Lots of trial and error needed, depending on your robot, and the line you are trying to follow!
