1. Track templates

The buggy can be programmed to follow a thin black line or a wide black track.

Track templates are provided for printing. They can be cut up to create tacks of your own design.

Several pages can be printed multiple times. The page numbers can be listed multiple times in the print dialog. e.g. 2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3 will print 6 copies of page 2 and 4 copies of page 3.

1.1. Track templates

The track templates have various track segments that can be cut out to make a line following track.

1.1.1. Thin line track

For a track with a thin line, download the word file linefollowtiles_thin.docx.

The buggy can be placed with the thin line up the middle of it so that the line sensors are over white paper either side of the black line. When a line sensor comes over the black line, that side needs to turn away from the line before it crosses it.

1.1.2. Thick track

For a track with a thick line, download the word file linefollowtiles_thick.docx.

For a wide thick line, download the word file linefollowtiles_wide.docx.

The buggy can be placed over the thick track or wide track so that the line sensors are over black paper. When a line sensor comes over the white surrounding paper, that side needs to turn away from the track edge back into the black area.
