“Movin' and Making Turns”

In the past week in robotics class we have finished two labs measured turns, and right face. In the lab right face we learn t the differences between swing turn and a point turn. A swing turn is when one wheel is in motion or spinning while the other wheel is not, but a point turn is when one wheel moves forward and the other reverse or moves backward creating a efficient and faster turn. In the lab measured turns we learned how to get the robot to turn a certain amount of degrees by setting a ratio of the circumference of the circle and the circumference of the wheel. for homework I read chapter 4 which is all about the move block. Move block can control more than one motor at a time. This makes the turns when a robot moving forward easier. Move block as a disadvantage it cant do a very good swing turn. But it is easy to put one block than two move blocks. I hope to accomplish the Circuit race.
