🔬 move_tank_for_degrees insight:

Degrees determine how long the motors run, while velocity ratios shape the path. Use this composer to estimate resulting poses before sending routines to your LEGO SPIKE Prime robot.

The official LEGO SPIKE Prime Python guide explains that move_tank_for_degrees() blocks until the motors finish and expects velocities in percent relative to the paired motors. Review the LEGO SPIKE Python documentation for parameter details and safety notes before executing long spin routines.

⚙️ Degrees & Velocities

Set the degrees for the move_tank_for_degrees command and choose left/right velocities. Use links to keep values symmetrical.

Positive degrees rotate forward. Negative degrees reverse.
Velocity (% of max)
Left wheel 50%
-100 (reverse) 100 (forward)
Right wheel 50%
-100 (reverse) 100 (forward)
Opposite signs create spins. Zero velocity holds a wheel.
Applied after this step completes.
