Single Line Detecting Sensors detect the edge and really grippy utherane wheels sure help.

I'm surprised this is the first time this has come up on CD. I got interested in this 2 years ago and got one of the kits online at lynxmotion.com, but then got really busy and totally forgot about it. Seeing the video posted by Joe Johnson sorta rekindled that and I ordered a microcontroller and some sensors. A sumo competition at an offseason or as an unofficial event at a regional or even nats would be pretty cool.
