9. Steering vs Turning

So far we've used the following robot methods for motor control.

          • forward()
          • left()
          • right()

There's another method that we could use: steer(left, right) where left and right are motor power values between -100 and 100. With the steer method, we can implement all other methods:

steer(0,0) => stop()

steer(100,100) => forward()

steer(-100,-100) => backward()

steer(100,0) => right()

What will g.steer(-100,100) do?
