The goal of this lesson is to introduce students to the setting for measuring the reflected light of the color sensor and to recall how to follow a line.

This exercise uses a ellipse shaped field - similar to a running stadium - made of a black line for following. The field can be printed on vinyl or you can use an insulating band to make it. In the next lessons we will be using the same field!
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
Level C1. "Transportation". Robotics with LEGO
This is the fifth level in the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in third or fourth grade.
For the first time robots with steering wheels are built in this level. Those robots use one or two drive motors. The work of the differential and its usage in vehicles is explored. Students learn in-depth the working of the light sensor to create better line-following programs. The first two-wheeled motorcycle-robot is built.

Lesson 4 - Robotic car
Introduction
Every year, thousands of people die in car accidents. One possible solution is to use robotic cars, which will potentially lower the number of accidents caused by human error. The problem with robotic cars is that there isn't an easy way for them to navigate properly along the road.
How can robots navigate properly along the road? Would you travel in a robotic car?
In the next few lessons we will be using lines that the cars can follow along their road. Many people are scared to travel in robotic cars, because of the lack of control and sometimes technology can fail. That's why our goal is to make a car with no errors, so there would be no incidents with people.
