Swing Turns

What are swing turns? Well, a swing turn is when one wheel turns and robot pivots on opposite wheel. Put simply, one motor moves, while the other is stationary. You can use this lesson to find the right amount of degrees you require for a specific turn. Good Luck!

Swing Turns: Left Turn

(Step 1) Add a default motor block. This means you don't need to change any of the settings which are already set.

(Step 2) Add a motor block, but this time set the motor to "B", the power to 55, and the forward to 120 degrees.

(Step 3) Add a motor block and set it to stop.

(Step 4) Add another motor block, set the motor to "B", the power to 55, and the forward to 240 degrees.

(Step 5) Add a motor block and set it to stop.

(Step 6) Add the last motor block! Set the motor to "B", the power to 55, and the forward to 480 degrees.

(Step 7) Good luck!
