Lesson: Robo101 EV3 - Proportional Line Follower & Wall Follower

Submitted by Ken Craft on 7 April, 2016 - 08:43

Overview:

The goal of this lesson is introduce the concept of proportional control to a line follower and wall follower. Students will learn a smoother means of controlling a robot's line following and wall following behavior than the binary approach used so far.

Objectives:

Students will be able to:

Describe different methods of line following
Explain why proportional control provides smoother results than simple (binary) control
Write EV3-G programs which use proportional control to smooth and speed the behavior of a line follower.
Describe wall technics following
Explain why proportional control provides smoother results than simple (binary) control
Write EV3-G programs which use proportional control to smooth and speed the behavior of a wall follower.
