Using the robot library to programmatically control your robot

Using the robot library to programmatically control your robot

Run this program by typing sudo python input.py. If you get an error message telling you that the program does not know about rr=RRB2(), you'll need to copy the rrb2.py file from your installation of the libraries for the motor controller board in the directory rrb2-1.1.
