QTI location

Mr. Richard

I am building a Linefollower. I have one caster in the front and two independent drive wheels in the back. I currently have there QTI sensors located along the rear drive axel. Is there a better location, if so, where is the best placement for the sensors?

thanks for the help
Josh

I may be mistaken, but shouldn't the line sensor be mounted as far front as possible... you want to "see" where you are going, not where you are...

I would also put the drive in the front and the caster in the back.
