PROBLEM STATEMENT:

Design a ‘Black Line-Tracer’ i.e. a line tracer to trace black line on a white surface. Your robot making skills will be put to test as the track has so many right, left and U-turns. Also there will be intersections of the line at places. All interested participants with a valid college I-card are eligible to participate.
