First Drive Mission Worksheet

Use this sheet to plan your moves and record your calibration. No perfect numbers needed — measure, adjust, and try again. Curiosity wins.

My hub’s name:    My team:

1) Predict the Square

Before you run the code, draw the path the robot will take and label each move (straight and turn). Mark where it starts and which way it faces.


 
 
 
 
 

  • How many straight moves does a square need?
  • How many turn moves?
  • How many degrees is each turn?

2) First Moves

  • I ran straight(200). What happened?
  • I ran turn(90). Which way did it turn?
  • Did I have to flip a motor Direction? Circle: yes / no

3) Calibration: Distance

Run robot.straight(1000) and measure the real distance.

Try wheel_diameter I used Distance it actually drove
1 mm
2 mm
3 mm

My best wheel_diameter: mm

4) Calibration: Turn

Run robot.turn(360) and check if it spins exactly once.

Try axle_track I used Too much / Too little / Just right
1
2
3

My best axle_track: mm

5) Reflection

  • The hardest part of getting the robot to drive right was:
     
  • One time the robot did something I didn’t expect, and what the code actually said was:
