Hi
I'm taking part in a robotics contest and that requires my robot to reach the desired destination using line tracking. The line to be tracked is made of white tape.
Now I'm in a sort of dilemma here. I was in favour of using IR sensors to track my line and through experimentation I found their response time to be quite fast and the sensors were also quite effective may I add.
But I have been advised against using them and instead was told to use phototransistors because that's what everyone else is using! Is this argument a good enough excuse? Also, do Phototransistors really have an advantage over IR sensors?
I would appreciate any help :)
