Pololu 3pi Spinning Line Follower

This is my Pololu 3pi robot I call Fourtophi (4^phi is about 3pi, don't you see) running my SpinLineFollow code. It is basically a line follower that is constant spinning in circles, while it is following a black line. It is not a very fast line follower, but won the "Best in Show" award at our last LVBots Challenge robot competition. This action of controlled translation during rotation is know as "Melty Brain" in the combat robotics field. Code is available at The code is available at http://forum.pololu.com/viewtopic.php?t=1371#p6306

You can find the source at Pololu's Forum. Just search "3pi Spinning Line Follower example"

Notice the red LED lights up briefly each revolution to show where the "front" of the bot is.
