Hey, that is very deep insight! Worthy of the Tao Te Ching.

The real question is: what is the optimal width for the line? (given the
number of sensors available)

The typical width given in the competitions is 1 inch (conveniently the width of
electrical tape). Is this the minimum?

I'm experimenting with a wider line. I believe the width of bots has to be kept to
150 mm in the rules. So my line would be about 200 mm wide. Guess I would need a
lot of black paint or electrical tape ;-)
