Understand a bot
that hunts tape.
Traxia'26 is a one-day workshop on the line follower bot. Learn how IR sensors, motors, motor drivers, and control code work together to keep a robot on a black line.

Steer the chassis.
Move your cursor over the board. The chassis follows the nearest point on the line, just like a real line follower.
Sense → decide → drive
The line is the only map.
A line follower is not magic. It is a tight loop: sample the sensors, pick a heading, and control the motors. This workshop breaks down that process and shows how the bot responds to the track.
- 01
IR array
Reads black tape vs white board. Contrast is the whole problem.
- 02
MCU
Turns sensor bits into left/right PWM. This is the brain you flash.
- 03
Driver
L298N (or similar) takes logic and feeds the motors real current.
- 04
Wheels
Two motors, two speeds. Turn by making one side slower.
