6. Case 03: Dance in Figure-of-eight

6.1. Introduction

Make Cutebot travel along a figure-of-8 track.

6.2. Programming Preparation

Please refer to: Preparation for the Programming

6.3. Sample code :

from cutebot import *
from time import *

# Create a sample for Cutebot category
cutebot = Cutebot()

# Turnning by adjusting the different speed of the left and right wheels of the cutebot. 
while True:
    cutebot.set_speed(100,50)
    sleep(2)
    cutebot.set_speed(50,100)
    sleep(2)

Code details

1. Import the modules that we need: cutebot module contains classes and functions for Cutebot smart car operations, and time module contains functions for time operations.

from cutebot import *
from time import *

1. Create a sample for Cutebot category

cutebot = Cutebot()

1. Directions turning is done by controlling the speed difference between the left and right wheels of the cutebot smart car.

while True:
    cutebot.set_speed(100,50)
    sleep(2)
    cutebot.set_speed(50,100)
    sleep(2)

6.4. Results

After turning on the power, the cutebot smart car travels in a figure of 8 trajectory.

6.5. Exploration

How should I program the car if I want it to travel in a square trajectory?
