Set the AI Lens in the line-tracking mode.

Get one image from the AI Lens in the forever brick and set the motor M1 at speed 10% if the black line in the image being detected deviating to the left; and set the motor M1 at speed 60% if the black line in the image being detected deviating to the right side. Or set both the speed of M1 and M2 at 60%.
