UNIT 5 – Follow the Guidelines and Faster Line Tracking

In Unit 5 you will cover the fourth week of the 6--week curriculum, which covers both the Follow the Guidelines Activity and the Faster Line Tracking Investigation.

The Follow the Guidelines Activity introduces students to a method of robot navigation used by many real world robots: line tracking. Students are led step-by-step through the process of using a light sensor to enable their robot to travel between two points by using a line. The Faster Line Tracking Investigation takes a closer look at how line tracking actually works in order to line track successfully at a higher speed.
