(...) Dave Baum's Definitive Guide gives a good treatment for the case of a single light sensor. However, to follow a line as opposed to "edge following" with elegance and ability to negotiate sharp 90-degree bends requires two light sensors as was (...)

(...) Cool, this book is now high on my wish list. (...) I think that developing a good working solution that drives the robot both fast and precisely over the track, and still uses only 1 light sensor would be the ideal solution. I´m still (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Mission well nigh impossible, I think. (...) One light ensor is ok for starters. It's not difficult to get an additional light sensor. Most of us think the RIS should have come with 2 light sensors in the first place. (...) Have a look at some (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well I suppose this statement applies to me since I have organized an event that limits the robots to a single light sensor. However, in my defense, I must say that the intent behind the rule was to make the game more fair for all competitors. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

All this talk of line following competitions has got me interested. Does anyone know if there are any such competitions in or around Minnesota? Also, what are the best places to look out for this kind of thing? Thanks, Gary (22 years ago, 3-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I don't think there is really a good source for this information, yet. I'm planning on making a web page with information about line following, including event locations, in the near future. One place to look is the regular robot clubs. Like: (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

From: Gary Mullen <garym@the-mullens.net> (...) It's a little of both. (prize & prestige) When you go to a contest sponsored by a robot club, they often give out "real robot" prizes. (stuff WE can't usually use) But at the last line following event (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)
