With Your punctuation it is really difficult to understand what You mean to say.

If I understand what happens correctly, I susspect that You have a short somewhere. Use multimeter to debug Your board.

To start off i am sorry for the grammatical errors I was typing very fast.

DIAGNOSIS REPORT

1)Short circuit test:NO problem in the overall circuit.EXCEPT for one motor wire was entangled to the other STATUS:SOLVED2)Continuity test:No problem on the overall circuit,BUT there was no continuity on the motors(The motors I used are the small round ones that look like brushless but are brushed).So I removed one and checked NO continuity.Tried on the other there Was continuity STATUS:NOT SOLVED:1 MOTOR GONE,THE OTHER IS SPINNING AT HIGH SPEEDS MAYBE 10000 RPM HENCE 0 TORQUE.
3)Removed chip and checked voltage at Vcc it was 6 v .changed battery ,new reading 8v.After that the motor started spining.

To conclude is it true to say that for a black line follower.On a white background it should spin on a black background it should STOP.please interpret the truth table for me so I can now the right way of doing things

I dont understand Pratheeks in the tutorial.
Thanks

P.S competition 40 hours to go.
