Project Name: Line Follower
Controlled by: Programming or Remote Control
Programming Difficulty: Medium-Difficult
Construction Difficulty: Medium
General Comment. This can be tricky, but it is also very rewarding. 

Rules FOR STUDENTS

​You must use:
-1 NXT or EV brick
-2 motors
-colour sensor (light sensor)

You must:
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! 

SAMPLE PROGRAMMING

This is what you want your robot to do when it DOES NOT see the coloured line. (X)

TEACHER INFO
