Constructor Detail

Move

public Move(float distance,
            float angle,
            boolean isMoving)

Create a movement object to record a movement made by a pilot. This method automatically calculates the MoveType based on the data as follows:

(distance NOT 0) AND (angle NOT 0) --> ARC

(distance = 0) AND (angle NOT 0) --> ROTATE

(distance NOT 0) AND (angle = 0) --> TRAVEL

(distance = 0) AND (angle = 0) --> STOP

Parameters:

distance - the distance traveled in pilot units

angle - the angle turned in degrees

isMoving - true iff the movement was created while the robot was moving

Move

public Move(Move.MoveType type,
            float distance,
            float angle,
            float travelSpeed,
            float rotateSpeed,
            boolean isMoving)

Create a movement object to record a movement made by a pilot.

Parameters:

type - the movement type

distance - the distance traveled in pilot units

angle - the angle turned in degrees

travelSpeed - the travel speed

rotateSpeed - the rotate speed

isMoving - true iff the movement was created while the robot was moving

Move

public Move(Move.MoveType type,
            float distance,
            float angle,
            boolean isMoving)

Create a movement object to record a movement made by a pilot.

Parameters:

type - the movement type

distance - the distance traveled in pilot units

angle - the angle turned in degrees

isMoving - true iff the movement was created while the robot was moving

Move

public Move(boolean isMoving,
            float angle,
            float turnRadius)

Alternate constructor that uses angle and turn radius instead. Useful for constructing arcs, but it can't represent a straight line of travel with a set distance (use the other constructor to specify distance). This method automatically calculates the MoveType based on the data as follows:

(radius NOT 0) AND (angle NOT 0) --> ARC

(radius = 0) AND (angle NOT 0) --> ROTATE

(radius = 0) AND (angle = 0) --> STOP

(radius = +infinity) AND (angle = 0) --> TRAVEL

NOTE: can't calculate distance based only on angle and radius, therefore distance can't be calculated and will equal NaN)

Parameters:

isMoving -

angle -

turnRadius -

Method Detail

setValues

public void setValues(Move.MoveType type,
                      float distance,
                      float angle,
                      boolean isMoving)

use this method to recycle an existing Move instead of creating a new one

Parameters:

distance -

angle -

isMoving -

getDistanceTraveled

public float getDistanceTraveled()

Get the distance traveled. This can be in a straight line or an arc path.

Returns:

the distance traveled

getTimeStamp

public long getTimeStamp()

The time stamp is the system clock at the time the Move object is created. It is set automatically in the Move constructor using System.currentTimeMillis()

Returns:

Time stamp in milliseconds.

getAngleTurned

public float getAngleTurned()

Get the angle turned by a rotate or an arc operation.

Returns:

the angle turned

getMoveType

public Move.MoveType getMoveType()

Get the type of the movement performed

Returns:

the movement type

getArcRadius

public float getArcRadius()

Get the radius of the arc

Returns:

the radius of the arc

getTravelSpeed

public float getTravelSpeed()

Get the travel speed

Returns:

the travel speed

getRotateSpeed

public float getRotateSpeed()

Get the rotate speed

Returns:

the rotate speed

isMoving

public boolean isMoving()

Test if move was in progress

Returns:

true iff the robot was moving when this Move object was created

convertDistanceToAngle

public static float convertDistanceToAngle(float distance,
                                           float turnRadius)
