Triggy: Lego Mindstorms Trigonometry Robot

This is my Lego Mindstorms robot Triggy. It is Version 1.0 since it is my first version of it. It uses Inverse Tangent to find out the angle that the motor needs to rotate to complete the triangle. It was programmed using LeJOS NXJ.

Hardware used:
NXT Brick
2 Standard NXT Cables
RCX Link Cable
RCX Rotation Sensor
NXT Touch Sensor
NXT Servo Motor

Thanks for watching!

This is so weird, you have the same hobbies as me: mindstorms and cubing : )

@MrSingingPizza I am also really into programming (not just on Mindstorms), I am writing code alongside typing this comment...

[MrSingingPizza]

@Mindstormscreator Oh, the only time I program is with mindstorms.

[Mindstormscreator]

@MrSingingPizza So do you use leJOS with Mindstorms?

[Mindstormscreator]

@PotatoSpades22095 Haha thanks.

[PotatoSpades22095]

@Mindstormscreator no, i just said hyp to abbreviate lol, ur gonna hafe fun when u take trig in highschool :P

sin= opp/hyp

csc=hyp/opp

cos=adj/hyp

sec=hyp/adj

tan=opp/adj

cot=adj/hyp

.5*a*b*Cos(c)=C

@PotatoSpades22095 Well I know that, but is it a trig function? Is it finding the length of the hypotenuse?

[PotatoSpades22095]

@Mindstormscreator hypotenuce, it is the side opposite a right angle in a triangle

[Mindstormscreator]

@PotatoSpades22095 Yeah, I was thinking about ways to implement those, but haven't really found a way yet. Um, what's Hyp?

[PotatoSpades22095]

thats pretty cool, if only it could tell sin, cos, tan, and hyp
