Intro to coding!

Today, our robotics team began an introduction to coding, in preparation for our fall competition season. Members learned how to code with the NXT program. They utilized the "move blocks" to program commands around an obstacle course. For instance, they programmed a robot to move forward 3 rotations at 30% power/force and to make a 45 degree turn at 50% power and so forth.

Our team discovered the math involved in precision, but are excited to continue programming in two weeks as we build our own obstacle course!
