How does bot wander work?

[Thé Lord Tony]

I set distance to 10 it goes like 50 studs, I sent distance to 1 it goes like 20 studs.

I don't understand.

its probably the radius of how far it can wander

Maybe the number you put in is multiplied by 5 or 20 or something? Something like that.

[The Brighter Dark]

i was wondering this as well

10 x 5 = 50
Yes

1 x 5 = 20
No

[Dr.shoe...]

try setting the distance to 2, then 3, then 4, then 5, and so on.

and then, I don't know, do that math I guess.

[Derroith]

It is wandering though, so can't it go in any direction and such?

I should probably try it first.

Took a look at the code, i think the input is in bricks, then converted to metric using the brickToMetric function (which i didn't know about). So in theory it isn't scaled at all.

[otto-san]

the way i'd think it would work would be in torque units

each torque unit is two studs

keep in mind OP states estimations

it probably works like this

y=3x+20

X being the adjusted number for range and Y being the actual stud distance

You can test the actual value of the constant by setting bot wander to 0 and measuring the max amount of distance the bot travels from the center point.

And if they stay in the same spot, your equation would be invalid.
