Turning Exercise Part 1

1) To make your robot turn sharply, have the steering on the <Move> Block set to 100. Set the wheel rotations to 1.

2) The wheels make 1 rotation. How far does the robot turn?

_______________________________

Hint: Place your robot on the center of intersecting lines. Line up your wheel axle with one of the lines.

3) The wheels make 2 rotations. Estimate (guess) how far the robot will turn.

_______________________________

Now program the robot with 2 wheel rotations. How far does the robot turn?

4) The wheels make 4 rotations. Estimate again: how far will the robot turn?

_______________________________

Now program the robot with 4 wheel rotations. How far does the robot turn?

5) Challenge:
The wheels make 1.5 rotations. Do you know how far the robot will turn? Write down what you think.

Now program the robot with 1.5 wheel rotations. How far does the robot turn?
