Building a line-following course
The following steps will show you how to build a line-following course.
You will need the following things to build the course:
- Boxboard
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Black permanent marker pen
Draw a sketch of your course using a pencil and ruler. The width of the line should be approximately 1" and the course should be connected (not open) to drive the robot continuously. Then, color the track using a permanent marker pen. Figure 5.9 shows a sample line-following course that you can use to build one:
