I'm currently building a robot that follows a white line. However I do know which chip to use to control functions such as turning. I'm thinking of using a 16F84. Is this a good chip to use or are there better ones to use?

Pretty well any PIC would do, but the 16F84 is a bad choice, as it's limited and expensive - it was replaced last century by the cheaper, higher spec, 16F628. For a while the 16F84 was listed as obselete, but now they seem to have reintroduced it (at a silly high price) because idiots keep ordering it!
In other words, don't be an idiot, because it will only effect you. I highly suggest even the 16F88, because it was my first uC and it works amazingly well! I would get it if you could.
