Re: Lasers, Diffraction Gratings, NXT

Sorry Matt,

I took apart this creation a while ago.
I also salvaged this from nxtasy.
I think the distance between the gratings was somewhere around 6 or 7 centimeters

Re: My car

No
Have the robot add power as the length of time that the touch sensor is held increase
Equation: s = seconds p = power
10s=p

Example:
The touch sensor is held down for 10 seconds.

10x10=100

Over a period of ten seconds the robot will be at 100 power

Luckily my Dad is an FTC coach, plus I have a brother which knows nothing about programming so I get to play with all of it when the year is over. :D

If you google "make firefox faster" it will give you ways to make the forums work faster.
