In getting ready for Trinity College's International Robot Firefighting Competition, my student, Wilson Sui, is trying to turn his Mouse into a wall-following robot. He is using two Sharp IR range finders pointing at the wall to do this. As you can see here, he has a nice wall-following routine, but he is still working on turning the corner.

Robodyssey Systems manufactures the Mouse robot and sells the Sharp sensor. The robot's brain is the BX-24 microcontroller (by NetMedia) and is programmed using the BasicX language. The brain is powered by Robodyssey System's RAMB II motherboard. I am the author of the world's only BasicX textbook; if you are interested in learning how to program your own robot, see my website at www.basicxandrobotics.com.
