Step 3#

  • Drag three if bricks into the Forever brick.

  • Judge if the status of line-tracking sensors is ○ ●, saying the left probe doesn’t detect the black line while the right probe detects the black line.

  • Set the left wheel speed to 50 and right to 25, make a right turn by the different speed of the two wheels and go back to the black line.

  • Judge if the status of line-tracking sensors is ● ○ and make a left turn to go back to the black line.

  • When the status is ● ● that means the Cutebot runs along with the black line at the speed of 50.
