**Welcome to the resource center for the Line-Following Motor Robot Kit (MRK+Line)!**

Here you will find all the reference materials that Digilent has created for this kit, as well as links to any external content we have tracked down.

The Digilent Line-Following Motor Robot Kit (MRK+Line) provides the perfect starting point for those new to robotics, but has the power to be used for advanced designs and applications as well. The MRK pairs our powerful chipKIT™ Pro MX4 microcontroller development board with a rugged steel platform and all the motors, wheels, sensors, and other parts needed to build a complete robot. When finished, the MRK+Line can be programmed to follow a dark line on a lightly colored surface. Using your MRK+Line's powerful chipKIT Pro MX4, you’ll be able to add all sorts of functionality to your robot. Add some of our extensive line of peripheral modules (Pmods™) and you can design almost anything! 

Your chipKIT Pro MX4 can be programmed with either Microchip MPLAB IDE or chipKIT MPIDE. Microchip MPLAB IDE can be downloaded for free from [[http://www.microchip.com/|microchip.com]]. chipKIT MPIDE can be downloaded for free from [[http://chipkit.net/started/|chipkit.net]].

Features:
  * Powered by the chipKIT Pro MX4 (included)
  * Includes everything needed to build a fully-functioning robot in no time at all
  * Driven by two 1:19 ratio motor/gearboxes
  * Includes 4 IROS sensors & a PmodLS1 light sensor module for line-following capability
  * Rugged metal platform & motor mount with holes on 1/2" centers
  * Rugged plastic wheels and drag button
