I am coding my vex with C++ and want to do a 90-degree turn. How do I do it?

The exact numbers will depend on your robot but you just spin one side of your drive in one direction or the other in the opposite direction (or a combination of the two)

[Darkmatterelite]

depends how in depth you want to go, from just spinning the opposite side motors in the other direction to using odometry incorporated pid

Assuming you are using VEXcode V5 text, the drivetrain class will do the necessary math for you to turn a particular angle, provided you configure it correctly.

See this thread for more info about using the drivetrain class:

VEXcode, motor groups and drivetrain example

There have been quite a few requests for instructions on how to use motor groups and creating a drivetrain with more than 2 motors in VEXcode. I’m going to discuss these classes a little and provide a simple example. What is a motor group ? A motor group collects two or more motors together and allows control as if they were a single entity. Just about all motor class member functions (by that I mean spin, spinTo, setVelocity etc.) are available on the motor group class. We introduced motor…
