Re: Using Target Distance to Move Robot

What could be the problem?
At first glance, I would say that .1 is a fairly low drive value and may not be enough to move a robot. Have you tried it on blocks to see it the wheels turn?

I also think you will find you are introducing a turn with those values. Arcade drive uses X and Y input. X will cause the robot to turn.

Lastly, the vi is using the following logic:
If distance is greater than 6, drive at .1 and .1.
Is that what you are thinking as well?
