Re: Drive forward to x inches
If you aren't interested in arriving at a spot with precision, you can simply drive forward and turn off the motors when you reach the desired number of clicks traveled.
That is, turn on the drive, then each pass of your loop, check the distance traveled and turn the motors off when you reach the desired count. You WILL overshoot if you do this, but probably not by much. If you figure out how far you coast after stopping the motors, just apply a bit of Kentucky windage and turn off the motors that much early.
