This is currently my code for my drivetrain is there any way to make it better it should be a tank drive ANYTHING HELPS also I AM VERY NEW TO CODING so please don’t roast me :smiley:

Well, you wrote it, you should know.

Just looks like a very simple 6 motor tank drive, have you tested it on a robot ?

3

No unfortunately not yet are team is arguing and I cant get them to allow me to test it

@jpearman - is import supported in Vex VS Python?

5

import is supported, with conditions.

depending on the platform, some modules are built into the VM. I’m not sure what is documented for V5, but for AIM it’s here.

V5 is based on an older version of micropython, I believe we have less included, however, it is possible to import from the SD Card. That doesn’t mean you will importing numpy without some additional (a lot of) effort to make it compatible.
