The next important step when turning with a robot is to learn how to do an Arc turn.
How does this construction of VEX EDR turn? It has two motors. Let's start with turning right
In this tutorial we would introduce you to the concept of loops using this VEX EDR Robot. As a final result we would have a program that makes the robot move in a square and not by repeating the same instructions for move and turn four different times.
We start with the previous program where we made the robot move forward and turn. We continue in this tutorial with repeating the same RobotC instructions four times. Our goal is to make the robot move in a square.
By using the GamePad to control the arm with could lift it and return it back. The main problem with controlling the arm is that if you just use the motors you would hit the robot, bend the axles and breaks the gear wheels. We would use the distance sensor to make the arm move without hitting the robot.
The previous tutorial showed you how to copy/paste instructions in RobotC. The current video will introduce you to loops.
In this tutorial, we are controlling the FTC Tetrix robot with the two sticks of the same GamePad. The left stick is for forward and backwards, while the right stick is for left and right.
The more advanced task is to more in a polygon. This would require calculating the degree of each of the turns and RobotC is a language in which you could implement this math calculation very easily.
Control the hand of the FIRST Technical Challenge Push Bot robot with the GamePad bumpers.
In this tutorial, we set the task of implementing another figure with the robot - a triangle.
Reversity - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot with two motors in reverse directions has two motors placed in opposite directions! If we just put a block that moves them both forward, the robot spins in place. So, how do we move it forward?
We already know how to move the whole robot. How can we move only one motor?
