Tuning the MCU car

The settings

Check the parameters of the MCUCar asset and change them to see their effect. It is recommended to save the world and reload it after changing the settings! The settings include:

  • wheel track (distance between left and right wheels)
  • wheel base (distance between front and back wheels)
  • sensor base (distance from base to sensor)
  • gear ratio (motor gear ratio, higher means more torque but lower speed)
  • tyre type (soft - sticky, but deteriorates fast, medium, and hard - slippy, but deteriorates slowly)
  • tyre width
  • tyre radius
  • number of sensors
  • distance between the sensors
  • colors of the car parts
  • car shape (3D Shapes can be added to the car to make it look better - we might have a separate competition for that ;) )
  • controller (your car controller, make sure to point it to your controller program!)

Make sure to input your team name and the robot name into the corresponding fields!
