| Robo Jr. Line Tracer |
| |
| |
 Robo
Jr. is a basic line-tracing robot. It follows a path laid
out for it along a floor or other smooth surface. The
path must be a dark line on a light background. The colours
are not important, but it will not work if there is not
sufficient contrast.
Robo Jr. has two infrared emitters on it front along with
two sensors. One pair is on the left, the other on the
right. Each emitter projects infrared light onto the floor.
The amount of light reflected back from the dark line
differs from that reflected from the floor; thus it can
tell where the dark line is. Each sensor controls a motor,
enabling it to follow the line.
The Robo Jr. kit comes with clear, easy to follow directions.
It can be ordered with the circuit board either assembled
(no soldering required) or unassembled. This is ideal
for someone just beginning to explore the world of robotics.
