So far we know how to make a turn in an arc, just like the real cars do.
Today we will see what other options our robots have for turning.

Experiment with the software for about five minutes, before we even give you any directions.

We challenge you before we give you the theory: browse in the software and try to achieve the behavior in the video below.

Pivot turns require fractions of rotations, a number between 1 and 2. Sometimes it is more convenient to use degrees.
In the software, you can change the "move block" to use degrees.

Why we will never use seconds in our lessons.

How far will the robot move for one second?

We will introduce a convention, an agreement, how and in which cases we are going to use each types of blocks.

Every turn is a circular motion and we will review the three types of turns from this point of view.

A special fourth case for a turning with robots with two wheels.

Our next robot is called CastorBot, because of the castor ball.
