Hi

We are wondering if the Vex IQ smart motor can be programmed to move to a certain location… example, when a color sensor detects a certain color move a disk to a specific point on a motor.

We would greatly appritiate if this question is answered

Fjhtth,

Yes, the Smart Motor features an internal encoder that can be programmed with MODKIT or ROBOTC.
This means that you can use the reading of the encoder to program speed, direction, time, revolutions and degrees.
