In Unit 5, learners are introduced to the Wheel Speeds Block. The Wheel Speeds Block provides opportunities for endless driving programs and customized robot movements. Learners will edit wheel speeds to create arcs and circles. Practice coding skills by making the robot wiggle, figure skating, and navigating around a bumper course.
