Task #3: Backward Motion & Turn

Program your robot so that it:

  • Waits 1 second to begin motion after the power switch has been activated.
  • Turns backward right for 3 seconds.
  • Stops and waits for 1 second.
  • Turns backward left for 3 seconds.
  • Stops and waits for 1 second.
  • Drives backward for 3 seconds.
  • Stop

Note: 

  •   Duplicate the program you wrote for Task#2 and title this program, "Task3_MotionBackward."
  • In order to make a wheel move backwards, place a negative "-" in front of the Motion % number.
  • Since these lines of code do not provide a Time Length...slide a "Wait Seconds" after them and choose the length of time that you need.
