Paul,

We found a good video from FLLSample on YouTube that explained how to write
a program to follow the edge of a line. We had to tweak a few values for our
robot but it worked well once we figured it out.

The video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvDW6BHlqWw&feature=plcp. I
also created a PowerPoint presentation from the information presented in the
video. The PowerPoint is at the bottom of the page at
http://www.roboticroadrunners.org/.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Smooth Follow Line following

Dear Fellow FLL Coaches,
Now that the Bruin Brick Builder's season is over we are looking to the
future. Our team did a good job this year in programming but we always want
to learn more. We saw several robots that had a smooth line follow (not the
back and forth motion of our line follow) Does anyone have resources
available to teach us how to do that? Are there any book or web site
suggestions? Thanks for helping a team to improve their approach.

Sincerely,
Bruin Brick Builders
Team #1018
