After participating in many robot racing events in several collages we found that students are still using old DPDT switch based Technics to drive their robots. Some students don't even know that they are using "H-bridge" for controlling the motors. Most of them are using a wire ribbon to connect the remote to switch.very less people using wireless technique.
Olden days people watch people playing football. But today we are making robots to play football. A robotic foot ball game makes you think innovative by placing multiple challenges in front of you. Here you need to make a better kicking mechanism which sharpens your mechanical skills. Here raises the Question."How to get a good kicking mechanism?".
Every robot builder begins his first experiment with "LINE FOLLOWER"
This is the best to begin. Because it consists of less hardware and simple sensors.
By working with this Bot one can easily get familiar with
Microcontrollers
Programming
Basic electronics and mechanics
sensors
and it is the only robot that can be made with in less budget.
