Using GearsBot
Not everyone will have a robot ready, and practicing on a real robot can be slow (...need to connect, download, grab the robot when it falls off the table, charge battteries...).
Using GearsBot can make it easier to practice. All of the examples in this tutorial can work in GearsBot.
When using GearsBot, please note the following...
-
Motor/Sensor ports in GearsBot may not match your actual robot; don't copy the code to your robot and expect to work immediately.
-
GearsBot provides a bunch of functions to replicate the "move_tank" and "move_steering" capability that's missing from Pybricks; You can delete or ignore them if you don't want to use them.
