Give Feedback on the Script

Now that we know Bing Chat can make a script for the cyber:bot to roll forward and turn, let’s see if it can expand upon that.

• Read the chat interactions.
  • Does it look like the modified script will work?
  • Is this really the best way to write this script?

Assuming this results in forward followed by a 90 degree turn, modify the script to make the cyber:bot travel in a square.

To make the cyber:bot travel in a square, you can modify the previous script to include four movements: forward, right turn, forward, and right turn. Here is the modified Python script:

from cyberbot import *
import time

# Roll forward for 1250 ms
bot(18).servo_speed(75) # Left wheel counterclockwise
bot(19).servo_speed(-75) # Right wheel clockwise
time.sleep(1.25)

# Rotate right in place for 850 ms
bot(18).servo_speed(75) # Left wheel counterclockwise
bot(19).servo_speed(75) # Right wheel counterclockwise
time.sleep(0.85)

# Roll forward for 1250 ms
bot(18).servo_speed(75) # Left wheel counterclockwise
bot(19).servo_speed(-75) # Right wheel clockwise
time.sleep(1.25)

# Rotate right in place for 850 ms
bot(18).servo_speed(75) # Left wheel counterclockwise
bot(19).servo_speed(75) # Right wheel counterclockwise
time.sleep(0.85)

# Roll forward for 1250 ms
bot(18).servo_speed(75) # Left wheel counterclockwise
bot(19).servo_speed(-75) # Right wheel clockwise
time.sleep(1.25)

# Rotate right in place for 850 ms
bot(18).servo_speed(75) # Left wheel counterclockwise
bot(19).servo_speed(75) # Right wheel counterclockwise
time.sleep(0.85)

# Roll forward for 1250 ms
bot(18).servo_speed(75) # Left wheel counterclockwise
bot(19).servo_speed(-75) # Right wheel clockwise
time.sleep(1.25)

# Stop the servos
bot(18).servo_speed(None)
bot(19).servo_speed(None)

This script uses the cyberbot library to control the robot’s servos. The bot(18) and bot(19) calls are used to control the left and right wheels, respectively. The servo_speed function is used to set the speed and direction of each servo. The time.sleep function is used to pause the script execution for the specified duration.

I hope this helps!
