Chassis for Line Following Bot

thingiverse

The initial thought of publishing this information seemed futile until encountering "Sumobot Chassis by langfordw." The EEEI Robotic Club at Rutgers invited students to participate in a line-following competition using a provided kit. A detailed description of the kit is available here: http://ieee.rutgers.edu/robotics/attachments/069_Kit_Description.pdf. To support those with limited soldering or programming skills, the club offered four classes held weekly. After completing these classes, participants were given two weeks to fine-tune their bots before the competition. The kit costs $65, but since I already owned an Atmega, I opted for the kit without the Freeduino at a reduced price of $45. This allowed me to utilize the Atmega and learn how to program it. The opportunity was too good to pass up. For those interested in more detailed instructions, I created a website (http://sites.google.com/site/rapidgeneration/line-following-bot) providing additional guidance, including documentation about building the large printed parts within the zip file.
