The 960-Pololu is a sensor module that has 8 IR LED/phototransistor pairs mounted on a 0.375" pitch, making it a great detector for a line-following robot.
Pairs of LEDs are arranged in series to halve current consumption, and a MOSFET allows the LEDs to be turned off for additional sensing or power-savings options. Each sensor provides a separate analog voltage output.
