Your Turn - More Pulses, Less Distance
Chapter 4, Activity #3 in Robotics with the Boe-Bot demonstrates how the amount of
time a servo turns translates to distance traveled. When there's less time between each
pulse, the program will have to send the servos more pulses to make them turn for the
same amount of time. This can make a huge difference in certain maneuvers, especially
distance and turns. Let's take a closer look at turns. If the low time between pulses is cut
in half, it means you have to deliver around twice as many pulses to execute the same
maneuver.
