Use this technique to move the robot in a perfect circle and in a rounded figure-8.
	#Increase the speeds of the PULSOUT functions from some of the previous examples to ± 100 instead of 50. This will move the robot at full speed. Ask the student to calculate the necessary constant values to move the robot in the same simple patterns (1 inch, 6 inches, 12 inches, 90° turns left and right) using the full-speed. Is it easier to make a precise ~~manuever~~ at a slow speed or a fast speed? why?		#Increase the speeds of the PULSOUT functions from some of the previous examples to ± 100 instead of 50.

	It is important that students understand the rules of the lab, and that they also understand the consequences. Many lab instructors may use a laboratory contract, that the students must sign, to dictate these rules.

	~~'''Tasks:'''~~
	~~#The BoeBot that has been properly calibrated. When run, the BoeBot should not move at all. Ensure that the software is correct, because an error could have the same effect.~~
	~~#Moving the BoeBot forward and backward in a straight (or nearly straight) line. BoeBot should stop by itself after several seconds.~~
	~~#Moving the BoeBot forward by distances of exactly 1 inch, 6 inches, and 12 inches.~~
	~~#Turning the BoeBot 90° to the left and to the right.~~
	~~#The Robot moving in a Square shape.~~

	~~'''Bonus Tasks:'''~~
	~~#Move the robot in a square shape forwards and backwards~~
	~~#Move the Robot in a figure-8 shape (with 90° turns)~~
	~~#Pace the robot back and forth over a straight line.~~
	~~#Moving the robot in a straight line, forwards, then backwards, then forwards again.~~
