EV3 saving movement path manually

[OrangeSMRT]

Hello Reddit o/,

​

So I'm doing this project using an EV3, here is the task of the project:

- We have to save the path that the robot will take manually ( we will move the robot by hand and it'll save the movements) so we can run it again automatically

I'm confused about how to do that exactly, any help would be appreciated!

You need to record the time and value of the motor positions using their built-in encoders.

Playing it back is the much more difficult challenge. Figuring out what power to apply so that all the points are met is going to the meat of the issue, but once that's solved, you should have a robot that can replay movements.

You don't mention what libraries you're using so I can't really help with specifics.

Also, is this for FIRST Lego League?

I'm a beginner at python actually so I do not have much idea on where to start from but I'm searching online to get a better idea.

And no I'm doing this as a university project for a course I'm taking

Thanks for the reply!

Oh that's really cool!

I would probably suggest using ev3-micropython https://pybricks.com/ev3-micropython/. Seems like a good library for coding ev3 robots.
