False Positives and Line Following
I've finally got around to laying out the Garden Path challenge and tested it with an unmodified line follower code used (supposed to be used) in Lava Plava. Needless to say, it kinda crashed and burned. It's not quite as bad as I expected but which fork the robot took was more by luck than any programming on our part. I set up a Pi4 and camera pointing at my monitor with a "rolling road" displaying the computers view to determine how best to handle the junctions the robot will come across. The frame rate is nowhere near what we achieve on the robot, as the image is being streamed across SSH. However, for the purposes of recognising the junction patterns, it should be ok.
