Could you treat it as a broken line?
That is, only 'see' the part of the line that is on a straight path through the
zigzag.
I assume you have to program the robot to ignore the cross line of the loop in
the course pictured:
http://www.chibots.org/contests/may2004/pictures/DSCN3660-tb.html
adjust the tolerance of that cross-avoidance to include the angle of the zig and
'look ahead' enough to see the next zag (which will also look like a cross with
breaks before and after).
You already have to navigate an open space/broken line, just adjust how much
open space to navigate to match distance between the zig & the zag. The result
should be a robot that drives straight over any zigzag like that.
Of course, such a robot would miss sharp turns, but the course pictured has
none.
Hope that makes sense,
Clark
