NOTE: When beginning to program in NQC, it is extremely helpful to start with one simple task, function, or sub. Once it is working, add more code or move on. The following programs are my NQC learning progression. The robot designs are from "The Definitive Guide to Lego Mindstorms" by Dave Baum.

// OUT THE DOOR---- 'Tankbot' design. two motors. This program sends the Robot // out of my room and //down the hall. It only uses 1 main task

// motors- Renames the drive motors LEFT & RIGHT

#define LEFT OUT_A

#define RIGHT OUT_C

// other constants- sets constant values (in seconds X 100) for turning, //reversing and running straight down the hall

#define STRAIT_AWAY 2200 //22 seconds

#define TURN_TIME 150 //1 1/2 second

#define REV_TIME 50 //1/2 second

task main()

{

On(LEFT+RIGHT); //Turns both motors on

Wait(450); //Runs for 4.5 seconds

Rev(LEFT); //left motor runs backwards…

Wait(TURN_TIME); //for 1.5 seconds

Fwd(LEFT); //left motor runs forward

Wait(STRAIT_AWAY); //runs forward for 22 seconds

Rev(LEFT); //left motor runs backwards…

Wait(TURN_TIME+TURN_TIME); //for 3 seconds(chair + corner in way)

Fwd(LEFT); //left motor runs forward

Wait(STRAIT_AWAY); //runs forward for 22 seconds

}//main
