Slave Motors Together?

[Gear_Geeks]

What is the command to slave motors together? We have four motors that need to move the same. I know robotc had a command for this, so I’m hoping that Vexcode does, too. Thanks!

You can make a motor group. Here is a great explanation from JPearman.

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…

Four motors? What subsystem this year may need four motors moving together?

Motor groups should work:

Clearly @trontech569 is a faster at typing than me

Thanks. It’s a lift. The team managed to devote 4 motors to it.
