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.

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.
