Simple Analog Line Follower
One of the easiest way to participate in XinCheJian’s next robot racing compeition is to build a simple analog line follower robot.
No programming skill required at all!! You will not only learn some basic knowledge about analog circuits, but also gets to exericse your soldering skills.
With only less than 10 common electronic parts and recycled bottle caps as the wheel, you can construct a very simple line follower, arguably the most simple one ever!
This workshop is suitable for people who are interested in soldering and robotics. Participant must be 10 years or older.

A quick thank you to all the friends and presenters of XinCheJian who
managed to make it to Occupy Barcamp, We had an Epic turnout and
XinCheJian really did a great job to Occupy Barcamp in Shanghai this
year, find out how we’re taking it up a notch and heading to capital
to Occupy the Maker Faire next month.
This weekend is the start of the Jue Festival dedicated to Music, Arts
and Technology that XinCheJian is involved in and supporting all
through the hard-work of Ziyun Peng.
We have Derek Zhang coming down from his hobbyist store and bringing
some things that he’s developed, last week he showed us some videos of
boat racers able to hit 90km/h and copters of sorts – flying stunt
patterns, he has a strong footing in the shanghai R/C crowd and
invites us all to come play.
Susan Evans From GoodToChina will be talking about the upcoming Eco
Design Fair along with their two exhibits around Sustainable Build and
Urban Farming and how you can get involved through XinCheJian and
GoodToChina
