Kp = 0.5 turn = Kp * error
What this game teaches
- Proportional control: correct more when the error is bigger
- Filtering noisy sensor data
- Python for robot control loops
Play together
- Steer a toy car by small corrections vs. big jerks — which is smoother?
- Explain “error” in your own words.
