VEX EDR Intro. Experiment with values for turning the VEX robot a number of degrees. Pro Preview

Let's talk about experimenting with the different turns of this robot. Now, you can build a mathematical module but you can also do some tries and some runs and in this way find the correct values. For example, this here is a task where you should make the robot turn to 180 degrees. Like this. And you should find the values for the different motors for turning 180 degrees.

Like this.

We start with the program that makes the robot move forward and what we should do is experiment. For example, we can rotate the motor connected on port 2 with power 50 and we can rotate the other motor in the reverse direction. And we wait for a number of milliseconds. For example, if 1000 is not enough, we can wait for 2000 milliseconds which is 2 seconds. Let's experiment and see how the robot behaves with these values. If we now start the robot, we would see it turning.

Let's do it again because we had the cable.

Start it.

Now, the robot rotates to more than 180 degrees So, we must reduce the value for waiting a number of seconds. Experiment. There are also a number of other tasks. Try to solve them before moving forward.
