Challenge
Previously in this Lab, you have created variables and used them with blocks from the ‘Operators’ category to move the arm mounted on the VEX V5 Workcell to different locations. In this challenge, you will take two given coordinates and move the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell to the center of those two points using variables and the Midpoint Formula.
Follow these steps to complete the challenge:
- Mark the given coordinates on the whiteboard using one color of dry-erase marker.
- Point A: (1.367, 4.335, 1.5)
- Point B: (-2.416, -3.813, 1.5)
- In your VEXcode V5 project, create the necessary variables for the Point A and Point B coordinates.
- Using the [Linear move] block and blocks from the ‘Operators’ category, create a project that moves the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell to the center of Point A and Point B using the Midpoint Formula.
- Midpoint Formula:
- Midpoint Formula:
- Run the project and record the midpoint value in your Engineering Notebook.
