		<description><![CDATA[The WallBot is wall follower that uses a HiTechnic EOPD sensor to track the wall on the right side of the robot and an Ultrasonic Sensor to detect inside corners.  The robot is based on the new HiTechnic Trike Base.  In this article the program is in the LEGO Mindstorms NXT-G programming language.

So what exactly is the EOPD sensor?  EOPD stands for Electro-Optical Proximity Detector. 

The basic strategy for wall following with the EOPD sensor to determine where the robot is relative to the wall.]]></description>
