Using Unit Rates to Find Time
Problem Statement:
The pre-placed block sets the speed of the robot to 5 in/sec. Without using the driveDistance( ) block, add more blocks to move the robot forward 7 inches, turn left 90 degrees, then drive at 5 inches at a rate of 1 in/sec. Remember that Speed = Distance/Time.
/* Code generated by RoboBlockly v2.0 */
#include <linkbot.h>
CLinkbotI robot;
double radius = 1.75;
double trackwidth = 3.69;

robot.setSpeed(5, radius);
robot.driveTime(1.4);
robot.turnLeft(90, radius, trackwidth);
robot.setSpeed(1, radius);
robot.driveTime(5);
