To turn the robot LEFT or RIGHT, wheels

are rotated at "different" speeds or in
different directions.

Increasing the speed of

the BOT

If you want to make a speedy robot,

then a
wheel of a relatively large diameter
should be used. This is because the
motor gives a fixed rpm and to
increase the linear speed, we need to
increase the diameter. Since v=*r,
where = angular velocity (rpm) , v =

velocity and r = radius. So, to
