07 : Movement

Goal: To move the robot forward.

The movement block in the action window helps you to control the movement of the robot.

This contains 5 blocks.

1) Forward block

2) Backward block

3) Turn Left block

4) Turn Right block

5) Stop block

To move the robot forward use the forward block.

It takes in a parameter speed. Give a constant numeric value between 0 and 255.

Add a delay block, to program for how much time the robot should move forward. If we give a value of 250, it means the robot keeps moving forward for 250 ms and then stops.

Put the logic in a while loop so that, it keeps on moving forward every 250 ms. Complete program is shown below.

Activity: To move the robot in a square path.
