Robot Key

All you need is a piece of paper, a pencil, a measuring tape with centimeters, either someone who is a math smarty or a calculator, a computer with nxt programing downloaded on it, 3 or more people, a built robot and a flat surface.

First make a program that tells the robot to go 900 degrees and stop. Save it and download it to your robot.

Set the robot on the flat surface and place the measuring tape next to the wheels with motors. (Tron’s motor controlled wheels are in the front.) Then line up the front or the measuring tape with the middle of the wheel a.k.a the axel.

Then have a partner pull the measuring tape tight and make sure the path is clear.

Have another partner run the program. Repeat 5 times writing down the results using the chart below.

                                                         

                                         Now take the average and fill out this next chart.

 Now you have your key and to use it measure how far you need to go in centimeters and convert it to millimeters and divide your answer by your key and there you go.
