The arc has two properties that are commonly mistaken by people. They are length and radius. The length indicates how much the robot moves, whereas the radius indicates the intensity of the turn.

When the robot moves forward, we control the ammount of movement through the rotations setting. It is the same with turns: if we want a longer arc we set more rotations to the robots.

The radius or the sharpness of the turn is controlled via the arrow setting on the steering block. If we increase it's number, the robot makes a sharper turn. This is indicated by the arrow itself, as it skews further and further as we increase the number.

Robotics with LEGO - Level 1.0 - Adventure in Space

The first level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in fifth to twelfth grades.

Various constructions with robots are built. Learn how to control the motors so that the robot navigates around the Moon and Earth in various ways. Getting to know the first two sensors. The robot can feel its surroundings with the help of the Touch sensor and avoid obstacles.
The Ultrasonic distance sensor can help the robot avoid obstacles. Students work with concepts like loop, degrees and medium motor. Robots can now do two different actions at the same time - while solving missions on a field, the third motor clears detected obstacles.
