Mini Challenge 1: 90 Degree Turn

Place two pieces of tape so they form 90 degree angle.

Place your robot that it faces along one piece of tape, then program it so that it turns to face directly along the next piece of tape.

Question

Program your robot to turn exactly 90 degrees to its right!

Indice

Hint 1: Change the amount your robot turns by changing the number of Rotations it is programmed to go.

Indice

Hint 2: Measure how far your robot turned with its 1 rotation program, and see if you can use that information to reason about how many rotations it should take to turn 90 degrees instead!

Indice

Hint 3: You can use this document "spin_turn [pdf]" to understand how to program your robot to turn.

Direction of Turn

Moving the Steering slider all the way to the right makes the robot turn to the right, in place.

What happens if you move it all the way to the left?

Question

What happens?
