Hi Steve,
I tried your suggestion to improve on the single-sensor line follower.
Well, actually I just used the left light sensor on my 2-sensor bot and
a standard single-sensor line following program. Like you said, the bot
is now able
to wiggle its way round the sharp 90-degree bend in both directions.
Thanks for the great idea of offsetting the position of the single light
sensor from the center.

Thanks again, I'll try the code-only for a start before I despatch my
bots.
Methinks, you deserve to win all those prizes :-)
