Example 4 Moving Using mav
Simulation
Real Life
What does the code do?
In this code the robot moves forward for 1200 ms using mav (motor number, velocity) at 1500 velocity.
Functions Used
mav(motor port, velocity )
msleep(distance in ms)
Function Implementation
1#!/usr/bin/python3
2import os, sys
3sys.path.append("/usr/lib")

6def main():
7 mav(0, 1500)
8 mav(3, 1500)
9 msleep(1200)

Rookie Tips
There are more than one way to move a robot. MAV (move_at_velocity) uses velocity (ticks per second) to move. We recommend mav for competitions, due to the fact that it is ticks per second while motor is percentage. This means mav will be much more specific than motor.
For more details on motor and mav, please search it up in our search bar, then go to motor.mav.
