The lego line readers are only choppy depending on how you program them. It will be a challenge for line followers in this game as well to make sure that their robot is efficient and smooth with their movement. For you code junkies, think about how you might use the code to make a quick and smooth turn onto the ramp. I bet you'd want to use some sort of degredation of motor speed rather than just shutting them off for instants which is what the lego bots do if they aren't programmed correctly.

And for the record - this whole autonomous thing is the greatest. I think it's going to add a lot of depth, strategy, excitement and of course luck. Not only that, but it makes the whole thing just a little more magical and awe inspiring for those young spectators we're trying to draw in.
