Use the table above to predict what values would be needed to make the robot move specific distances.
Test chairyour answers by writing a program to make the robot move as indicated.

Motor B speed Motor C speed Time
(in milliseconds) 		Distance moved
360 360   1 foot (12 inches)
    3000 1 foot (12 inches)
0 360   turn around 180o
    2000 turn around 360o

Assignment: Make the robot move in a square around the leg of a chair.


Top Grade: Make the robot travel in a "W" shaped path about 1 foot long on each side.
