I know there is the Motor.setMaxTorque() command, but is there anyway to get the torque value?

2

Absolutely. :slightly_smiling_face:

I retrieved this documentation from the Vex Command Help:

Interesting…

Only gives the first motor’s readings.

I mean they had to pick something right. That’s a decent choice. It lets you select which motor you get info for.

5

I would have thought it more appropriate to give the mean of the torque values.

6

Same.

I mean theoretically, we could just do this

motorTorque = (motor_group_1_motor_a.torque(TorqueUnits.NM) + motor_group_1_motor_b.torque(TorqueUnits.NM)) / 2

But also in case OP really meant IQ when they selected it, we do not have this :frowning_face:

(I swear if this is on some hidden back command list and we do have it though I am going to sit in my room and cry for weeks)
