Hi all,
Does anyone have any advice on how to learn code python better? Are there any helpful resources to help my team’s coder understand it more? This is our coder’s 2nd year coding, but she is still at a pretty new/basic level of code and needs the most help programming auton (for regular matches and skills).
try https://www.practicepython.org or Python Tutorial.
You can google basically anything.
always use a drivetrain, here’s my custom 6 motor setup.
left_motor_a = Motor(Ports.PORT3, GearSetting.RATIO_6_1, False)
left_motor_b = Motor(Ports.PORT2, GearSetting.RATIO_6_1, True)
left_motor_c = Motor(Ports.PORT1, GearSetting.RATIO_6_1, True)
right_motor_a = Motor(Ports.PORT6, GearSetting.RATIO_6_1, False)
right_motor_b = Motor(Ports.PORT8, GearSetting.RATIO_6_1, False)
right_motor_c = Motor(Ports.PORT10, GearSetting.RATIO_6_1, True)
drivetrain_inertial = Inertial(Ports.PORT20)
left_drive_smart = MotorGroup(left_motor_a, left_motor_b, left_motor_c)
right_drive_smart = MotorGroup(right_motor_a, right_motor_b, right_motor_c)
drivetrain = SmartDrive(left_drive_smart, right_drive_smart, drivetrain_inertial, 319.19, 320, 8.5, INCHES, 0.5)
however, I highly reccomend using low driving and turning speeds to avoid overshoot.
The thing about a drivetrain is being able to use inbuilt methods.
Are you using Vex 5 just for competition? I am trying to use it in my HS robotics class as a physical demonstration of python. I woul dlike to know if there are others doing the same thing.
