Using the TCRT5000 for Line Following and More

The TCRT5000 photo reflective sensor is great for line following, but based on this test, it could be much more useful in helping with localization too.  In this experiment I will use the sensor to also detect a specific point along the line.

NOTE!  After filming this story, many problems came up with the original concept of localization for ZoomTown and the importance of this concept rose dramatically. In the next episode, this will be explained in much more detail.  But as of the release date of this video, this concept may very well save the ZoomTown experiment!!.

Cheers!
Chris
