The maximum speed of the mobile robot when tracking a line depends on the design parameters. This assignment deals with trying to optimize design parameters of a mobile robot, which will be competing in the MCU Car Rally competition. We created a virtual robot with the help of a robot simulation software Webots. We then changed the various design parameters and measured the speed of derailment. We have found that the original assumption of size and the ratio between the parameters was very good. The best version of the mobile robot would be achieved by reducing the distances between the front wheels and the sensors, reducing the distance between the wheels themselves and increasing the wheelbase distance.
