Re: PhotoSensor distance

Design a series of tests with the sensors mounted at different distance from each other. Measure how fast the robot can follow the line, how repeatable it is, and whether the robot can get confused by approaching the line at a sharp angle. Based on that data, determine the optimal distance for your specific robot and drivetrain.
