Re: How should we wire the photoswitchs?

First question...

How does the robot drive in teleop? Does it go in the correct directions forward/rev, turn etc. This must be correct before auto. What about speed? Our robot is pretty fast in teleop, but still very managable in Auto.

Next: How was the robot positioned when you started auto? Were the sensors on the line etc. If not, the robot WILL turn.

>>> another thing tht when when we put tape on the sensors they led changed the color !

The fact that this surprizes you means you have not read the instruction on how to calibrate them. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Find the small sheet of paper that came with them and read what the LED's mean. Until you adjust the sensitivity to be correct, they are worthless.

robot was way too fast almost caused injury any idea how to slow it down ?

if u guys programed, can someone send me the code ... bec. i can't understand the example code provided to make changes
