Last week we looked at Richard’s LEGO Mindstorms line follower. It did not get around the course, and this week we will modify it to get around the course better.
We set up the website for blogging our weekly achievements (this website) and all have our own accounts.
This week we adjusted the position of the sensor and changed the codes for higher speed and more aggressive turning. The position of the sensor moving towards the centre helped line following because the triangle between the wheels was smaller. Increasing the turning aggressiveness made the robot stray off the line, causing it to fail the course.
We also looked at how Richard bought our domain name and EV3 software and observed the code. Next week we will write our own code from scratch using the software.
