Roving Off Line with the PASCObot

In this investigation students experiment with the PASCObot Line Follower intensity measurements to understand the effect of placing the opposite color tape on the line. They use the results to create code that commands the PASCObot to leave the line and then return to it. The code can differentiate between different widths of tape to command different actions. They modify the code to detect and navigate around obstacles placed on the line.
