This circuit is used to create a simple "edgebot" sumo robot. Being an edgebot refers that it will repeat the same backup/turn/go forward action when it's single edge sensor detects the edge of the ring. This version of the circuit is quite simple, and always turns the same way.
New Product: LED Strips
Solar botics
May 2, 2017
A brilliant selection of new smart LED strips with various features. They are addressable, white RGB, or full-color RGBW, available on spools or per meter to add blindingly bright effects to your project. Some so bright, we had to shoot them at 1/4 power to avoid freaking out the camera exposure.

5V RGB Addressable Serpentine Stripxel (48/M, 2.5M spool) 64.95 CAD / 49.95 USD This strip uses narrow 5mm construction using a little "S" bend between each LED, you can peel the backing and stick them down into actual curves that don't kink out. |
