What 'drive' commands do you use the most with TI-Rover?

[Chhaya, Harshal S.]

 

Hi,

 

TI-Rover has several commands for driving and I am curious which ones have been really useful for you in your classroom.

 

In my mind, there’s three groups of commands (you may have a different taxonomy)

 

1. Turtle-like commands
   1. Simple commands: forward/backward/left/right
   2. with additional params:

                                    i.      backward/forward(time)

                                   ii.      backward/forward(time, speed)

                                 iii.      backward/forward(distance, speed)

                                 iv.      left/right(radians/gradians)

2. Math-focused coordinate drive commands
   1. to_xy(x,y), to_polar(r, theta)
3. Direct motor control commands
   1. motors(direction, speed, time)

 

Which of these have been the most useful? The least used?

 

I know the answer probably depends on the topics you teach, so if you could answer with the topic/activity and the corresponding commands, it’ll help.

Thank you for your feedback.

 

Regards,

- Harshal

Harshal,

These are the Rovers commands I used in coaching in El Paso:

1. Turtle-like commands
   1. Simple commands: forward/backward/left/right
   2. with additional params:

                                    i.      backward/forward(time)

                                   ii.      backward/forward(time, speed)

                                 iii.      backward/forward(distance, speed)

Greg,

 

Thanks for your feedback. Was this in a math classroom? What grade and what was the topics?

 

Also, Curtis reminded me to add to_angle() to the list of math-focused commands (in addition to_xy(x,y), to_polar(r, theta))

 

Thanks,

- Harshal
