Program the rover to follow a line. Use the colour sensors on the rover to help detect where the line is and determine where the rover should move and turn to stay on the line.

Pick a brightness value between your line and the colour next to your line (e.g. if your sensor reads 130 for black, and 230 for white, something like 180 would be a good starting point). Then get the rover to drive gradually left or right using the set motor speeds block.
**Tip: **
**Tip:**
Test with different numbers! In our example, a speed difference of 8 for the motors worked well, but numbers for your rover may vary. You could even experiment with different RGB values to see if that gives you a better result.
