Introduction
on the floor. The path consists of a black line on a white surface (or it may be reverse
of that). The control system used must sense a line and maneuver the robot to stay on
course, while constantly correcting the wrong moves using feedback mechanism,
thus forming a simple yet effective closed loop System. The robot is designed to
follow very tight curves
Sample Paths
The path is a black line on a white background with width of 3 cm (except at bends
where a little variation may be present). It may contain paths laterally displaced by a
around 3 cm and also gap of at most 5 cm. (All these specifications may vary one
competition to other).

The line follower is a self operating robot that detects and follows a line that is drawn
on the floor. The path consists of a black line on a white surface (or it may be reverse
