Robotics Worksheet: Line Follower Program

Robotics lesson 24: Line-follower programs · Set 75 · 40 questions

Robot tip (Turn towards the line): Left sees black → turn left; right sees black → turn right; both white → go forward. In an if / else if chain the first true rule wins (both black → the rule written first). With numbers: a reading below the threshold (for example below 40) means black.
