The example is open-loop, which means it turns without sensors, once you get the example working, dont worry too much if it the turn is not accurate or repeatable.

The main thing here is to make sure you understand the logic of what the code is doing.

After which, try adding sensors to make the turn more repeatable like encoders on the drivetrain, or gryo or digial compass if you would like to stick with this example and enhance upon it.

Hope this helps,

I get it know ... thanks!
