yeah, we all got our own boe bot in class, and as the final assignment for it, everyone used the IR follower program and one guy used PING ultransonic, we failed on an epic scale needless to say they all went in a line until one in the middle decided to go somewhere else and it screwed everything up....it was a disaster -_-
our final assignment utilized the light sensors, (it was awhile ago so I can't remember the exact components) basically we built a track with black electrical tape on white poster board. the boe bot was supposed to follow the track and get to the finish line in the shortest time. some worked better than others to say the least
