Line Following Results
We had 13 robots competing in this event. Robots had to make 3 laps around the track without falling off, and were given 2 chances to do this. We started with preliminary races to determine the top 4, and then had a single elimination bracket to pick the winners. The line following track had 12 straight tiles, and 24 curve tiles, for a total 3 lap length of about 2821 cm.
