“If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

One day robot
In all my time building robots I've never built a line follower and thought it was about time. I figured the electronics from a Snappy type robot would work as a line follower, so I decided to give it a try. I built up another board, re-configuring the light sensors to look at the floor this time. Then I designed and printed a new chassis. This is the result...
The software turned out to be incredibly simple, I just added about eight lines of code to the light seeking code running Snappy, and abracadabra the robot follows lines...
Snappy got his name from one of the Smurfs - I'll have to go through the list again and find another one for this guy.
