i need help with a program to check mine over with.

please post a program that does the following: (i am new to boe-bot programming)

go straight for 6 feet
then go straight backward for 6 feet
then turn right
then turn left
then pivot right
then pivot left
then go in a circle
then gradually increase the speed of the robot
then gradually decrease the speed of the robot until it stops

a program that does this would be greatly appreciated

thanks!!!!!!!

    It doesn't work like that here! If you write your own program and post it, you might get some suggestions.

    Obviously, this is some kind of homework problem or class project and we will not help you to cheat. If you have specific questions about how to use a Stamp or a Propeller, we'd be glad to help. We'd also be happy to explain concepts you don't understand, but we won't do your work for you.

    If you read the book that comes with BoeBot, you will have all the information needed to program the things you want to achieve. Start with one basic concept, then add another, and get that working. Then add another function and so on.. It will be so much fun and difficult to stop working on it!

    As your subject line days, this is an easy program. Just grab your robot buddy and the Boe Bot manual and you can knock this out in less than hour. The added plus is you can say "I made this!!"

    Try this:

    DO
    gosub straight 6 feet
    if then gosub straight backward 6 feet
    if then turn right
    if then turn left
    if then pivot right
    if then pivot left
    if then gosub circle
    if then gradually increase the speed of the robot
    if then gradually decrease the speed of the robot until it stops
    LOOP

    It might just work for you! Let us know!

    He did say simple - just use the GUI for Boe-Bot.

    Shortly after I got my 'Bot sorted out, I programmed him to do many of the things the poster wanted... just wanted him to show off! :-) Took me about 20 minutes without the manual. Called the program "Bob Dance". :smile:
