If you are new to the line-following category, you may have noticed that sometimes the robot behaves differently in the morning than it does in the evening. Adjustments that worked earlier may later cause it to fail. This can happen for a few reasons, but the main one is ambient light.
Many new teams don’t realize they need to cover their sensors to prevent interference from ambient light in the room. If the program is sensitive to the reflected light readings, the robot may fail early on. In most competitions, robots are tested on the field before official runs to ensure that, if the sensor isn’t covered, the team has time to adjust their program to match the robot’s new conditions.

Line Following
This is the Line Following course, where you’ll explore essential techniques to help your LEGO robot follow a line with accuracy and stability! We will begin by covering the fundamental concepts of line following, starting with basic wobble line following, which teaches how robots detect and respond to lines. Then, we'll progress to more advanced methods like proportional line following, allowing smoother tracking by adjusting speed based on error values. Finally, you'll dive into the widely-used PID line following technique, where you'll learn how to tune parameters for optimal robot performance. Whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your robotics skills, this course will guide you through building, coding, and refining your robot's line-following capabilities.
