Project Objective

In groups, you are to build and test an intelligent buggy. It will have two modes of operation. The mode of operation should be selectable by a switch.

Line Following

The line will be a dark magnetic strip of 20mm width. Deviations of this line will be at no more than 45ยบ.

At the end of the project each buggy will be tested on a simple track.

Instruction Reading

Your buggy will also be expected to read road markings and execute the appropriate motion. These markings will again be formed from 20mm wide magnetic tape.

At the end of the project each buggy will be tested on a variety of symbols.
