Line Following Robots

Basics

• A Method used for Guiding various devices such as Industrial Materials Transport Devices, such as Automated Forklifts, and Carts
• It can also be used for "Dumb" self driving vehicles
• Can use colored lines and a light sensor based on brightness of reflected light (Black and White Lines), a color sensor (Multicolored Lines), Magnetized strips (Hall Effect Sensors etc), and Even QR Codes or RFIDs (These last two are especially useful for stops/mission locations, as in go this far along this line, or drop these things here)
