Thank you for your help. This does serve to clear a few things up and gives me a few ideas to try. As far as dropping G and going to RobotC or NXC (etc) I have RobotC and am learning that as well because it seems like it will give me much more control... but you allude to my need to stay with G beca...

Thank you. As a newb to NXT-G programming I am finding some of it quite confusing. I am playing with setting tasks without loops by multitasking but they still seem to rely on loops to detect whether conditions are true or false before executing the task within a switch-block (set to flat view so mo...

Is exiting a loop the only way to turn a task off without stopping the whole program in NXT-G once it has finished what it was intended to do? I'm wanting to turn an ultrasonic sensor off once it has finished its task so it doesn't conflict with future obstacles.

closed... we made it work on our own.

I've hit a mental block and can't for the life of me work out how to get around a problem I have. Attached is the NXT-G program my Son and I have written. I did not include the MyBlock as it doesn't affect this issue. The program works really well so far to follow a line and correctly turn either le...

I'm trying to do a basic linefollow program which I can do without using variables easily enough but I thought I'd try and be a little more creative and put a calibration routine in, based loosely on the nxtprograms.com smoothfollow program calibration routine. As such I have four variables; White, ...

What does that have to do with this project though?

Just asking where you take your measurement from to work out the radius of the path the outside wheel makes as it pivots around a stationary inside wheel... that's all. I agree this has nothing to do with differentials at all.

Is the radius of the turn measured from the centre of both the inside and outside wheel? Another easy way of thinking about this is: let the degrees = Y, the diametre of the circle traced by the outside wheel = D 1 , the diametre of the wheel = D 2 , and the rotation = R then it can be represented b...

I've worked out how to do parallel sequences.

Thankyou, Steve. Sorry for the tardy reply. The boys were competing in the Robocup Challenge over the weekend and I've been busy helping out with that. After posting the above program I redid it and came up with something that looks similar to your program (see attachment). I was still focused on de...
