We extract the Proportional Line Following algorithm into a new block with parameters. This allows us to experiment with the Threshold, Constant Speed and Relaxation Coefficient. You can now easily use the block in you other programs without having to implement it.
This Program is used in the following courses and lessons
This course if used by teams, mentors and students to structure the preparation for the Robotics Game of the FIRST LEGO League Robotics Competitions. One thing that is common each year at FLL is that experience matters a lot. Our goal with this course is to quickly bring new teams up to speed with experienced teams and to share some new tricks, patterns, constructions with the more experienced teams.
The next very good way on following line is to use a Proportional, Integral, Differential algorithm. Now, this could get quite complex so we have sciped the Integral and Differential Part from the next few videos and we have implemented only the Proportional. A very good line following that should do the job for nearly any competition.
