last year we used line following and had seven sensors on the bot on a bar - same idea as above, depending on which sensor sees the line you turn harder and harder

it worked ok, but we abandoned that approach and used the gyro as a compass, and started out backwards, doing a V turn

we hit the wall in 3 seconds consistantly last year.

This year our drivetrain is slower, but our navigation with the gyro should allow us to run at full speed most of the way there.

thats the trick - not outrunning your sensors
