High-Speed PID Line Follower Robot for Competitive Robot Racing
The JSumo Storm Line Follower Kit is a performance-focused robot platform for teams and makers who want a faster, more advanced line follower robot. JSumo positions STORM as a fast generation robot for line follower competitions, with support for both black and white surfaces and fully open code for further development.
Built around a strong controller platform, STORM is designed for speed, tuning, and race performance. JSumo lists the robot with 16 line sensors, 12V 4000 RPM motors, and performance up to 150 cm/second, making it a serious choice for advanced line tracking projects and competition prep.
Original JSumo product: We list this item as a distributor, so the product title now starts with JSumo for clearer brand matching.
Good to know: JSumo notes that the STORM unit is shipped assembled and tested and that the robot code is sent for further development.
