- Wheel circumference
- diameter and width is written on drive tires
- unit on tires are mm so convert to inches
- Hint: balloon or EV3 is 6.91 inches so can you figure out how I calculated this?
- Determine distance with rotations, seconds, and degrees to travel 1 inch
- This leads you to use of MATH BLOCKS!
- A*B
- A = distance travelled in inches
- B = number of degrees to travel 1 inch
- This leads you to use of MATH BLOCKS!
- Angles of lines to follow
- Distances to key points
- Parallel lines with walls
- Right Angles
- Perpenidcular lines
- Square robot on a line with dual light sensor
- Square robot on a wall with rear bumpers
- Proportial thinking to move precise distances or turns
