I ask this b/c it's the difference between line following and the sensor that we want to measure (as to how fast each is) if any team has completed trials of this and would like to post results they would be most appreciated. Thank You
You can find the build directions on the FIRST website. When you build the beacon, reverse pins 2 and 3 of Q1 because the schematic is incorrect. A known good schematic can be found on my website. While tweaking the navigation software for the kick-off demo, we could consistantly get to the beacon in 10 or 11 seconds.
