Line Following Contest

Eugene recently had a line-following contest at the annual asian celebration. Unfortunately, several of the would-be entries got locked up in the local high-school, so we only had 3 contestants. Myself, one of my kids from the robotics club I mentor, and cute little snail bot that is all analog.

I spent all week working on my PID algorithm, and almost gave up the day before. But it turns out the test mat I built at home was far more difficult than the mat at the contest. So I’m glad I actually went.

I only planned to enter the “beginner” contest, but since there were so few contestants, I went ahead and tried my bot on the “advanced” course. Turns out that they’ve never had a bot successfully complete the advanced course, which my bot did on it’s 2nd try (which didn’t get recorded).
