Figure 8-6 shows a lead Boe-Bot followed by a shadow Boe-Bot. The lead Boe-Bot is
running a modified version of FastIrRoaming.bs2, and the shadow Boe-Bot is running
FollowingBoeBot.bs2. Proportional control makes the shadow Boe-Bot a very faithful
follower. One lead Boe-Bot can string along a chain of 6 or 7 shadow Boe-Bots. Just
add the lead Boe-Bot’s side panels and tailgate to the rest of the shadow Boe-Bots in the
chain.
