The Mathematics of Driving and Turning A Robot
In this session, Lauren dives into the mathematics of driving and turning using individual motor commands. Using the scenario of a competition robot with a custom drivetrain as an organizer, she breaks down the math used to determine how to code each motor to drive in a straight line so that it could move around the Field. She then uncovers the formulas needed to code the robot to turn, demonstrating both point and swing turns. This session offers insight into the mathematics behind drivetrain commands, and offers practical applications for abstract concepts like circumference, that can be interesting ways to incorporate robotics into a math class, or vice versa.
