Continuous Servo Movement

Hello,

I've recently finished creating my robot with the developer kit and everything is fantastic!

I'm just a little confused with the continuous servos, I've got one on each side of my robot for the wheels, however when I control it to move forward, I have one wheel moving forward and the other moving in reverse.

this is probably me being really stupid but how do I resolve this?

thank you:)

Hi @OscarBest,

You have a few options:

  1. You can physically take the servo off the robot, turn it 180 degrees and then place it back on the robot.

  2. If you are using a continuous rotation Movement Panel in ARC you can just swap the forward and Reverse values (instead or Forward = 180, Forward would be = 1, and vice versa for Reverse)

Hopefully that helps:)
