The Line Follower Robot (LFR) event is a robotics competition where participants design robots to autonomously follow a designated path or line on a course.

Anyone interested in robotics can participate, including students, enthusiasts, and beginners. The event is designed to be accessible to all skill levels.

The objective is for the robot to accurately and quickly follow a marked path on the ground, usually from start to finish, within the shortest time possible.

Robots must be autonomous and follow the course without external control. They are typically limited to using only onboard sensors to detect the path.

Infrared (IR) sensors or optical sensors are commonly used, as they help the robot detect the contrast between the line and the surrounding surface.

Yes, there are usually restrictions on size and weight to ensure a fair competition. These limits vary, so check the event guidelines for specifics.

Scoring is based on the robot's speed and accuracy in following the line. Penalties may be applied for deviations, and the fastest time typically wins.

No prior experience is necessary, though familiarity with robotics and programming can be helpful. Many resources are available to help beginners get started.

Yes, most LFR competitions have a time limit for completing the course. Robots that exceed this time may be disqualified or receive lower scores.

Prizes typically include trophies, certificates, and sometimes cash rewards or tech gadgets, awarded to top-performing teams or individuals.
