Robot doesn’t detect line - If changing the width of your line doesn’t help, remember line sensor calibration
settings can be very sensitive depending on your environment.
Experiment 4: Using the Accelerometer
Introduction
Now, what happens when something bumps into your robot? It just stays there and take it from this bully? No! It
should move out of the way, or do something. In this experiment you will use the accelerometer on the micro:bit to
trigger the robot to move out of the way. If you flip the robot on its back or stand it on end it will stop driving (play
dead)!
