Red LEDs emit light onto the ground; the reflected light is read by photoresistors to detect whether the car is on the black track or the white field. When the car drifts off the line, the corresponding motor slows or stops and the car steers itself back — fully automatically, no remote control needed!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🚗 \u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Line-Tracking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Follows a 16 mm wide black runway on any white surface, no matter how it curves or bends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e💡 \u003cstrong\u003eOptical Sensing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses red LEDs + photoresistors for real-time ground detection and course correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚙️ \u003cstrong\u003eExpandable Platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serves as a hardware base for advanced projects — obstacle-avoidance robots, fire-fighting robots, soccer robots, and remote-control cars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🎓 \u003cstrong\u003eSTEM Education Ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for schools, maker labs, and engineering courses as a vivid, practical electronics experiment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e🔧 \u003cstrong\u003eFull DIY Assembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes PCB, motors, acrylic wheels, silicone tires, resistors, transistors, LEDs, capacitors, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e📐 \u003cstrong\u003eCompact PCB Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 73 × 105 mm board — perfectly sized for a desktop build\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit Model\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD2-5 Intelligent Tracking Trolley Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3V DC (2 × AA batteries — not included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePCB Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73 × 105 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensing Method\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhotoresistor + Red LED optical reflection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Mainland China\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAssembly Overview (4 Steps)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Soldering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solder all resistors, transistors, LEDs, and capacitors following low-to-high component height order.
