(...) Thanks, I'll have to get myself a copy. Judging from the lively discussions in an accompanying thread on line followers, it seems that following a single black line is far from being a trivial matter. It seems to me more natural to be keeping (...) (25 years ago, 17-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) You are right that with one stationary light sensor, line following is not a trivial matter. Change the constraint and it starts to become a little more trivial... we're just splitting the problem by focusing on both the mechanical and (...) (25 years ago, 17-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) a single line in (...) sensors? (...) A single black line (of any width) on a white background *is* two white lines on black background. The real question is: what is the optimal width for the line? (given the number of sensors available) -g (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I am really agreeing with you, but since yesterday I begun thinking a little in other pathways... The specifications for a general line following robot have to include also a specification for the kind of line/pathway the robot can follow. So (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Heh, good point. (...) Incidentally, in my robot I have solved my moving light sensor problem. Now I'm left to the tedium of properly linking all four corners of my synchro platform now that I can't just freely run things through the center. (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm experimenting with a wider line. I believe the width (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
