Preliminary Research and Development

These programs were used when conducting preliminary research on the functionality of the AEV. These programs helped the team understand how the motors, reflectance sensors, and Arduino function together to make the AEV run on the track.

celerate(2,27,15,1);
// Brake motor two.
brake(2);
// Reverse the direction of only motor 2.
reverse(2);
// Accelerate all motors from start to 31% power in 2 seconds.
celerate(4,0,31,2);
// Run all motors at a constant speed of 35% power for 1 second.
motorSpeed(4,35);
goFor(1);
// Brake motor two but keep motor one running at a constant speed (35% power) for 3 seconds.
