Robocon 2012 Solution-3
In Robocon, we need a line sensor that is able to detect the white lines on the vinyl flooring that consists of green, blue and red zone. To overcome this problem, we need a sensor that is able to differentiate the white lines from the other 3 colors.

Based on the charts below, it is very clear that a sensor that emits green light is reflecting more light for white, yellow and silver surface and reflects less for color like black, blue, red and green. Compared to the conventional red emitting light sensor, green light is more effective.


Let's look at the live demo below on how the green light digital fiber sensor performs!

LI-3.7-1100
3.7V 1100mAh Li-Ion Battery
We always advise students to use rechargeable battery or AC-DC adapter instead of 9V battery during their final year project development due to environmentally and monetary concerns. 9V battery doesn't last very long, although it looks cheap, but it actually costs a lot more because it cannot be recharged and reused. Usually the students may use more than 10pcs of 9V battery at the end of the project which may cost more than RM50 and it is very harmful to our planet. Hence, a low cost rechargeable battery with low cost charger is always on the top of our sourcing list.

We bought many types of battery from different manufacturers and did the 'charge-discharge' test on every sample to find its actual capacity and life cycle (Because the label on battery doesn't reflect the actual capacity most of the time). At last, we decided to choose the best type (in term of capacity and pricing) and sell it at our online store. We also carry the battery holder and the charger separately.
