Classic Projects (Chapter 14)

Chapter 14 basically talks about how to follow a line, which we basically already did. It talks about how to do it in the best way, our robot basically turned from left to right to move forward and with that the speed was not constant. They have a motor that they can steer the front wheel with, this makes the robot drivable and faster. it also talks about another kind of robot with a big bumper attached to two touch sensors, and a light sensor pointed to the ground. That robot can feel the ground the with the light sensor and the bumper(touch sensor). This would be useful if you wanted to explore a room that might not have ground everywhere.

Following the line was an interesting project to see how light was reflected off different surfaces, well summarized.
