Week 5-1 Point Rotation

on Friday, August 24, 2012


In this class we learned the final type of rotations : the point rotation
We need this kind of rotation when the robot must change its angle without changing its position in other words the robot rotate itself.
To make a robot turn a point rotation the wheels must rotate with the same speed but with different directions
This kind of rotation is very helpful in sharp angles <30°
To illustrate this kind of rotation we made a circuit which look like the heart beat:
The center of the robot must follow the circuit with no tolerance.

To apply a point rotation with the nxt-g just drag the steering to the extreme right or left then set the desired duration.
