Full workflow in this storymap.
"EdMats" are designed for students to have on their desk or table while working with a robot. EdMats feature a prominent, solid black line - usually in a circular shape - for practicing "line tracking" with a robot. According to the meetEdison website, the black, solid lines should be at least 1.5 cm thick for the line tracking sensor to work.
The lines can be drawn with a very large marker or students can use black electrical tape for fictional maps for their robots.
The attached storymap outlines the process I used for creating a real map of real streets for my Edison robot to follow. The same basic workflow should work with any robotics kit that supports line tracking.
