Well, I have finally had a chance to get over all of my finals,
and hopefully did well. I will find out on Monday. Well, as I
have promised, here is my next DIY how to project. Beware, it is
going to have to be in depth, and long. As any good engineering
project goes, we will start out with a problem and a solution.
The problem is going to be to build a Lego robot with sensors, a
motor controller, and a microcontroller that 1. Follows a black
tape. 2. Upon reaching the end of the tape will pause for three
seconds. 3. After pausing for 3 seconds will return back to the
starting point. The next step in an engineering problem is to
come up with a solution. Ideas of implementation must be thought
of. There are two possibilities of making a robot come back to
the starting point after pausing for three seconds. The first
and most obvious way is to make the robot turn around and then
drive back to the starting point following the line. This way of
implementing has a lot of benefits. The first is that it is the
easie
