fyi, for some reason the left motor is reversed, so I put it as rev, when its supposed to go forward, and vice versa for going backwards

#25

so you should be able to set it to reversed wherever you do the motor set up

oh ok, so should I set it as reversed during the pre_auton?

#27

also instead of multiple functions for forward and backward I made mine with 1

void function( int x, directionType ) {
//your code
//minus the motor stops, no need when using rotateFor
//also just get rid of the directionType in the command if I remember correctly
}

ooooooooo, that is so much better, thank youuuu

#29

np, don’t have my code with me so I’m trying to do it by what I remember. And I programmed that part a long time ago. There’s also a better way to do turn functions but it’s more complicated

oh, is it multitasking using tasks?

#31

no, it uses strings and if statements

Oh I know what those are, I learned that in grade 9-10 com sci for python

#33

my functions take a ton of parameters lol

I think they all take 4-6

ye, but thats just makes it so easy and convenient

#36

wow, thats insane, I can only think of 2 maximum when it comes to auton

#37

i have direction, speed, distance, and blocking on all of them

#38

but I only had to make like 5 functions…so far

#39

never heard of blocking before, what is that?

#40

it’s actually called “waitForCompletion” it tells the program to either wait for the motors to get there, or to move on to the next thing. For instance, if I want to move and raise our angler at the same time, or put the tray down as we back away from the stack.
