| This code doesn't use information from the rear sensors, even if it is backing up, so is prone to bumping into things when maneuvering. It also doesn't use info about motor current consumption even though this is readily available - this data could be used to detect wheel spin or a stall. The plastic tracks tend to slip on smooth surfaces when the robot has been stopped by some obstruction that it hasn't detected (eg something below the sensors or non reflective). Carpeted surfaces are hard for the tracks to turn on, but even there the tracks still spin rather than stall the motors.. | This code doesn't use information from the rear sensors, even if it is backing up, so is prone to bumping into things when maneuvering.
