Like all mini-challenges, this is pretty much up to you. I'll bring a surface
with a line on it, but you may also bring your own. The point of the challenge
is to see if you can get a robot to do it, to find what interesting solutions
people come up with, and to learn things about building robots yourself as well
as from others that bring robots. We try hard to avoid over-specifying a problem
in mini-challenges.
That being said, the line I'll bring will be gentle. I haven't made it yet!
It probably will have around a 4" to 6" radius if it uses curved lines, or 3" to
6" segments with around 30-degree turns (150-degree angles) if it uses straight
lines.
Does that help?
