Distance and speed
Distance means how far the robot will go. When you use rotations (full turns of the wheel), the distance does not change when changing the power. What changes is the time in which the robot will cover the distance you have set. The higher the speed is, the faster the distance will be covered.
The task
So far your Yo-Yo moved backward and forward at the same speed. Let us now simulate gravity - all movements forward are quick because the robot "falls down" and all movements backward are slow because the robot "jumps up".
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
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.

Lesson 2 - Yo-yo challenge
Introduction
Today we will learn to program the robot to perform more than just one action, as well as program it to move like a yo-yo. Have you ever played with a yo-yo? How does it move? Did you know that from Filipino yo-yo means "to return".
