Instructions
Students will create a program that turns their robot into a true rover.
1. Set the Speed
** Did you know that the Mars Curiosity has a top speed of 5 centimeters per second on flat ground? The average speed of the Curiosity is 1 centimeter per second. Also, to help ensure that the Curiosity stays safe, it has hazard avoidance software. This tells the rover to stop and check the location every couple of seconds. * (From https://mars.nasa.gov/mer/mission/spacecraft_rover_wheels.html)
We will start the program by telling the rover how quickly to move. Use the set speed to (slow) block found under the GoPiGo tab.
