Learn how to make Ladybug roam around the room without hitting the wall. You will also learn how to control the distance to the wall. The challenge I had with many robots is that there is no central 'speed' parameter if multiple motors have to coordinate to create walking movement. I resolved this by synchronizing all motors with time and then bending time, forward and backward, to control the total motion. In this video, I use that to have a robot keep its distance to the wall.
