Time your original time and try to make it half.		2. Make the robot move faster. Note that you need to change the parameters according to your line to follow (and robot).

== Introduction ==

=== Robot ===
The idea and principle works for almost any robot thought this is tested using Asimov.

=== Sensors ===
The color sensor in reflected light intensity mode is used.
The sensor convention is
#port 1 = touch,
#port 2 = gyro,
#port 3 = color,
#port 4 = infrared or ultrasonic

== Theory ==
The zigzag line follower actually follows the other side of the line. If the intensity obtained by the sensor is greater than some threshold value (now 50), it will turn right some amount (now 55). Otherwise, if the the intensity is lower the robot turns steering to left (negative value).

== An Example Code ==

#Sensor port convention:
#port 3 = color
#port 1 = touch, port 2 = gyro, port 3 = color, port 4 = infrared or ultrasonic.
#84 is Max
#30 is Min
