Very Fast VEX PID Line Following Robot

Monday, June 28th, 2010

VEX line following robot as published in ROBOT magazine Sept/Oc 2009. Very fast — compare with other video showing classical “zigzag” algorithm. About two feet per second. Uses a PID control algorithm and line following sensor from Pololu.

Written in ROBOTC. Speed limited by latency in the VEX motors.

Complete source code available in the sample programs shipped with ROBOTC (version 1.58 an above). See www.robotc.net. for download.

VEX Line Following Robot using ZigZag Algorithm

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Simple “zig-zag” algorithm for slow line following robot. As Published in ROBOT magzine Sept/Oct 2009 issue. Pretty slow / lame performance. Compare with other video showing same robot with PID algorithm implementation.

Written in ROBOTC. Complete source code available in the ROBOTC sample programs available at www.robotc.net.
