Leroy, if you go to my website, http://www3.sympatico.ca/jdkalpin and
navigate to 'The LEGO Lugger' project, you will see a vehicle that could
well be used for line-tracking. While I do use an 'extra component', a
rotation sensor, I have included the software, in Robolab, with a decent
amount of description.
The LEGO Lugger was designed as a large flexible moving platform with a
clear uncluttered top, capable of heavy loads and accurate straight-line
correction. With one extra loop you could have a line-follower.
