Submitted by Randy Steele on 27 April, 2012 - 15:15
Overview: 
The goal of this lesson is to provide students with an Engineering Challenge, The Line Racer, that will integrate all their new Robotics skills with Data Wires and advanced My Blocks.
Objectives: 

Students will be able to: 1. Design and build a robot capable of optimized driver-controlled line following 2. Write an NXT-G program using Data Hubs to create a driver-controlled line follower 3. Write an NXT-G program using advanced My Blocks to optimze performance of a driver-controlled line follower
