Creating a Project to Turn Left and Right in VEXcode Pro V5

This example program shows how to program the V5 Clawbot to turn left and right using VEXcode Pro Text.

#include "vex.h"

using namespace vex;

int main() {
  // Initializing Robot Configuration. DO NOT REMOVE!
  vexcodeInit();

  // Turn 90 degrees to the left.
  Drivetrain.turnFor(-90,degrees);

  // Wait for 1 seconds.
  wait(1, seconds);

  // Turn 180 degrees to the right.
  Drivetrain.turnFor(180, degrees);
}

How it works

This program used the turnFor(degrees, units) instruction to turn the robot for a specified degree. Degrees can be specified by using a numeric value.

You can specify the units by using degrees. A positive numeric value can be used to turn the robot to the left and a positive number value to move it to the right.

Steps executed in the program:

1. The Drivetrain is set to turn 90 degrees to the left.
2. The program will wait 1 second before executing the next line of code.
3. The Drivetrain is set to turn the robot in the opposite direction which is 180 degrees to the right.
