TurningBot

Exploring various ways of turning

Material:

mBot

Procedure:

STEP 1

Brain storming: Brain storming: Is there any difference in moving on a curve trajectory, in making a sharp bend or a U-turn? What do wheels do in moving on these different curves?

STEP 2

Write a code for moving the mBot on different curve trajectories, acting on motors’ power: equal, different but both different from 0, different with one set to 0, opposite.

Load the code on mBot and run it.

What does it happen? Can you recognize the different curve trajectories we have discussed about in “Step1”?
