Program Module

• Tracking Algorithm

Sense walls If offset sensors turn on, you are no
longer centered. Increase speed on side of
offset sensors until centered

• Wall Hugger Algorithm

Go as long as there is a wall on the left if
there is a wall on the front, turn right if
there is no wall on the left, turn left
