38 Achieving Robust Line Following and Position Tracking

The Zoomie has moved up a notch on performance!  The line following is very robust, so much so, I can push it nearly 45 degrees off course and it easily corrects course and continues on.

Position tracking (localization) has improved significantly using the hybrid system of the AS5600 encoders, TCRT5000 photo reflective sensors, and some A3141 Hall effect sensors.  This new method is bringing the project very close to 1mm accuracy!

Cheers!
