Does anyone here have any experience with line following robots? or Does anyone have any good resources for construction?

Umm, is this not exactly the kind of "I am too lazy to use google and do my own reseach" thread that is against the rules?

Could be confused However, people have posted so much good information that it would be a shame to lock it now: I don't want their time and effort to go to waste.

Often speaking to real people can be a valuable complement to using search engines. For instance, now Sulaiman has mentioned that he built a simple robot kit called the Cybot, you can (and should) google for the term "Cybot" and see what comes up. I did and saw dozens of interesting links such as this Link2

man that last one is hi tech!!!

If you go to the previous page of my car, there is a schematic Link2
then you just need to know how to write your code in the Keil compilier. The hardest part is dealing with the 8255, because its very slow in comparison to the 8051, so you have to pad everything with delays or else everything stops working properly.

I saw one that used a LM324 a couple of LED's and a couple of CDS cells. It was really simple. Just a comparator and two voltage dividers which the CDS cells were a part of. The comparator compared the resulting voltages between the two CDS receptors. I've got the shematic, but I can't find it right now. But it was simpler than some other stuff I saw skimming though. I can dig it up if you want.
