This is my first line-following robot. This is the parts list:
ELECTRONICS
Arduino Uno
Adafruit motor shield
Pololu QTR-8RC line sensor. I used only 5 sensors.
Pololu 30:1 micro motor
7.2V (6 X AA NiMh batteries)
MISC
DVD case
Wires
Wire straps
3 screws and about a dozen nuts to act as raisers. Their screws length depends on height of your battery stack.
SOFTWARE
Arduino IDE 1.0
Adafruit motor shield library
Pololu QTR-8RC Arduino library
