As Zack and I have just got one and am looking for someone to race with, perhaps some of the Ant weight guys would like to have a go!

Re: Line Follower Robot Racing in the UK

Line follower racing is quite popular at Robogames in the US and some of the machine there are very sophisticted with line tracking heads that are on a servo so they can follow the line at high speed and not lose it. I entered it once by mail, with my sister in law runnng the robot for me. My machine finished [and not all of them did] in about 40 seconds; the winner did it in about 4 seconds. I suspect they are faster now. Remind me before the next live event and I'll dig it out and bring it along and we can race.
