Ops Manager Extension: Line Follower Explained
This is the fourth challenge within the Robotics with GoPiGo and Python Curriculum.
Your task is to design a robot program that increases the volume of products that Amazing.com can ship out to its customers on a daily basis without increasing the number of robot pickers it employs.
