Robots look cooler when they have a sinister green glow. Better yet, when that glow exists for a functional purpose it's even better!
Here I show how to make a custom robot and use LED's to not only enhance line following, but also make it work in the dark too.
Enjoy the video!

First you need to design your robot.
I designed mine using CAD, planning out the locations of all the parts carefully. This is the most important step to making a robot!
The wheels are servo driven, the material is made out of HDPE and bronze metal sheets, the back wheels are foam, and in the front is an orange caster wheel.
I hand made each of the components using a manual mill.
Follow the images in order for construction steps.

Awesome Instructable, your robots are awesome, I hope you win!
(submitting it to the Green Science contest was mostly a fun joke) =P
