PIDFollower
Pravega, which translates to "great speed" in Sanskrit is an autonomous high-speed line follower robot that currently works on the PID control algorithm. As simple as the name sounds a line follower's basic task is to follow lines, but the current world championships are all about speed, precision, and efficient algos.

Questions
How big is the PIDFollower PCB?
It measures 130 × 140 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PIDFollower use?
13 parts, built around the ROB-14450 and LM7805. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the PIDFollower KiCad files?
From the Sreeram-Ramesh/Pravega repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PIDFollower/PIDFollower.kicad_pcb and its schematic PIDFollower/PIDFollower.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PIDFollower design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
