const int rightMotorBackward = 5;AF_DCMotor leftMotor(leftMotorForward, leftMotorBackward);
AF_DCMotor rightMotor(rightMotorForward, rightMotorBackward);void setup() {
// Initialize motor pins
leftMotor.setSpeed(150);
rightMotor.setSpeed(150);
}void loop() {
// Move forward
leftMotor.run(FORWARD);
rightMotor.run(FORWARD);

gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
_, thresh = cv2.threshold(gray, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV + cv2.THRESH_OTSU)# Find contours in the thresholded image
contours, _ = cv2.findContours(thresh, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)# Iterate through contours and find the largest one
for contour in contours:
area = cv2.contourArea(contour)
