I like the introduction, you can make this robot very affordable if you have 1 broken computer, 1 remote tv controller, 2 broken mobile phone.

I participated in a Line Follower Competition held at university level among the college students. Got 3rd position there. All the participants who made this type of robot(this technique is called bang-bang) were eliminated in the first round or so. The only participants who could qualify for the semi finals made the pid line follower. Ours was pid too. But for this kind of robot, it requires a lot of precise calibration. It would be really good if you also try making an advance pid line follower that can be a competition winner.

this is actually impressive ngl, nice job

Nice project! I did a similar design last year, using two high brightness white LEDs for illumination, two yellow LEDs paired with an BC547 amplifying stage for each one for reflection detection (using the yellow LEDs as photocells), two BD135 with 1N4004 flyback diodes for driving the bigger motors and an LM339 for the comparator. I find remarkable that such a simple bang-bang controller can follow lines so well.

But, I have to say that I've got VERY worried in seeing solder being filed. Most probably you are producing a lot of highly lead contaminated dust, because most popular solder alloys generally have 60% tin and 40% lead, or 63% tin and 37% lead. Not only it is very easy to breathe in some of that dust but, as well, this fine dust has quite an ability to stick to the skin of your hands, and stay there even after some washing.

Play safe! Don't fool around with solder dust.

As a maker new to robotics these tutorials are amazing, I would love to see more! keep on creating banger videos!

This shows the difference between animals and plants or cells. Animals have brains, so they are like robots with microprocessors, but cells and plants don’t, so they are like this, using complex mechanisms to do somewhat simple tasks without thinking.

Hey Buddy! Honestly, LOVED IT! please make more of such kinds, would love to see them! go on with the series, all support! All the very best!

Great work max!
You are going pro on tiny circuits😎
The sound effects are cool and with extreme editing skills 👏
Really appreciated your efforts,
Waiting for 100k subs 🎉

[MCsCreations]

Brilliant work, Max! It works great! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Using the pen tip of a ballpen is a genius idea. This hardware tutorial is amazing for the budding engineer

[louisanapereira]

Really simplest design .. good for newcomers & beginners.. getting into it..
Here are some few points that you may consider in future attempts...
The single led & ldr.., one for each side and the comparator mode of operation.. permits only a TWO LEVEL(binary/2 bit) control.
With 2 per side, and the second pair, placed behind (or front) and slightly left/ (or right) of the first, will give a narrower band( configured like a hysteresis window) for each wheel..
Now you can get a minimum 4 bit logic resolution..
With additional combinational & sequential logic.. more permutation/ combinations properly worked out, can make it a more robust controller..
bear in mind this is just a " look down" decision controller.., and not a " look ahead" one..
In both cases.. the detect sensors & driven wheels are at extreme opposite ends ..
Best would be to have idler wheels (turning L/R) controlled by this and rear wheels drive by some other circuit .
Happy Tracking.. 😅

I'm Iraqi and I love this content . Thank you 👍

[saadsabir]

Really enjoyed your video and useful links in the description. Bieng a mechtronics engineer, I learned from it how to make line follower robot without a proper kit. I also find very useful knowlwdge in your projects in your short instagram reels as well.

[_ANSUMANPATI]

Nice video! I am very interested in DIY projects that are very small and can fit in the palm! I would really appreciate more of these types of tiny-sized projects!

[_sandits]

you did a great job on this max! the circuit and soldering was really clean and neat as it so tiny. keep it up 🙌❤

[omarahmed-ezve]

Great work🎉🎉
I will DO this project now❤❤❤

[MegaTechno]

I am really impressed that you did this without a microcontroller. Thanks

[yamilh]

Thank you very much, I am just studying Operational Amplifiers, I will do it and understand more about the component.
you're great!!

[Mr.GeniusCreation]

Wonderful Project Max!! 😃
I just made a Line follower to get me snacks from kitchen 😁😜
