Mini Challenge 1: 90 Degree Turn
Program your robot to turn exactly 90 degrees to its right!
Place two pieces of tape so they form 90 degree angle.
Place your robot that it faces along one piece of tape, then program it so
that it turns to face directly along the next piece of tape.
Change the amount your robot turns by changing the number of Rotations it is programmed to go.
Measure how far your robot turned with its 1 rotation program, and see if you can use that information to reason about how many rotations it should take to turn 90 degrees instead!
Direction of Turn
Moving the Steering slider all the way to the right makes the robot turn to the right, in place.
The number representing the robot's Steering goes all the way down to -100. |
Did you notice?
