ARPS is a versatile Arduino UNO compatible shield designed to make it easy to learn or teach microcontroller programming and robotics without needing to build and debug circuits on breadboards. In this video, learn how to program and test the optical floor sensors so you can make your ARPS and Arduino UNO into a line-following, floor sensing, or Sumo robot.

The robot in this video was built using a prototype ARPS circuit board supplied by PCBWay. Thank you to PCBWay for supporting this project! See the shared ARPS project on PCBWay here: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/ARPS_A_Beginner_Arduino_compatible_Robot_Project_Shield_1312e173.html
