Thought for the Dazed

I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.

Using the FEZ Line Sensors

The Fez reflective sensors let your robot detect what it is running on. You can use them to create line following robots. They are surprisingly sensitive. You can connect them to an analogue port on your Robot Controller. The most important aspect of these devices is that the line you print must be a “proper” black. This means a printout from a Laser Printer, and not the output from an inkjet. For some reason inks are not detected, but the black produced by a laser printer works a treat.

I did not have issues with my HPInkJet and doing following with the sensors. But I would guess laser gives better results.
