static double	WHEEL_SIZE_NXT2 NXT 2.0 kit wheel diameter, in centimeters
static double	WHEEL_SIZE_RCX White RCX "motorcycle" wheel diameter, in centimeters

Method Summary

void	backward() Starts the NXT robot moving backwards.
void	forward() Starts the NXT robot moving forward.
double	getMaxTravelSpeed() Returns the maximum speed at which this robot is capable of traveling forward and backward.
double	getTravelSpeed() Returns the speed at which the robot will travel forward and backward (and to some extent arcs, although actual arc speed is slightly less).
boolean	isMoving() true if the robot is moving
void	setTravelSpeed(double speed) Sets the speed at which the robot will travel forward and backward (and to some extent arcs, although actual arc speed is slightly less).
void	stop() Halts the NXT robot
void	travel(double distance) Moves the NXT robot a specific distance.
void	travel(double distance, boolean immediateReturn) Moves the NXT robot a specific distance.

Method Detail

forward

void forward()

Starts the NXT robot moving forward.

backward

void backward()

Starts the NXT robot moving backwards.

stop

void stop()

Halts the NXT robot

isMoving

boolean isMoving()

true if the robot is moving

Returns:

true if the robot is moving under power.

travel

void travel(double distance)

Moves the NXT robot a specific distance. A positive value moves it forward and a negative value moves it backward. Method returns when movement is done.

Parameters:

distance - The positive or negative distance to move the robot.

travel

void travel(double distance,
            boolean immediateReturn)

Moves the NXT robot a specific distance. A positive value moves it forward and a negative value moves it backward.

Parameters:

distance - The positive or negative distance to move the robot, in wheel diameter units.

immediateReturn - If immediateReturn is true then the method returns immediately.

setTravelSpeed

void setTravelSpeed(double speed)

Sets the speed at which the robot will travel forward and backward (and to some extent arcs, although actual arc speed is slightly less). Speed is measured in units/second. e.g. If wheel diameter is cm, then speed is cm/sec.

Parameters:

speed - In chosen units per second (e.g. cm/sec)

getTravelSpeed

double getTravelSpeed()

Returns the speed at which the robot will travel forward and backward (and to some extent arcs, although actual arc speed is slightly less). Speed is measured in units/second. e.g. If wheel diameter is cm, then speed is cm/sec.

Returns:

Speed in chosen units per second (e.g. cm/sec)

getMaxTravelSpeed

double getMaxTravelSpeed()

Returns the maximum speed at which this robot is capable of traveling forward and backward. Speed is measured in units/second. e.g. If wheel diameter is cm, then speed is cm/sec.

Returns:

Speed in chosen units per second (e.g. cm/sec)
