Automatic Centimeters/Inches to Degrees Calculator
This tool can be used to easily convert your wheel/tire size information into useful data to be used by your First Lego League team.
STEP 1:
Wheel Dimensions
Input your wheel diameter in millimeters *-OR-* You can pick one of the tires commonly used by FLL teams below.
EV3 basic tire - 56×28
Motorcycle tire - 81.6×15
Balloon tire - 56×26
Small tire - 43.2×22
STEP 2:
Moving Distance
Input the distance you would like the robot to move in either inches or centimeters:
inches:
centimeters:
STEP 3:
Hit the button to calculate!
Total distance to travel (in cm):
Circumference of your wheel (in cm) is (π * diameter):
The number of rotations your robot needs to move is (distance to travel ÷ circumference):
The number of degrees your robot needs to move is: (rotations × 360):
STEP 4:
Using the Values
Use the rotations or degrees values from STEP 3 in your code. Now you can measure in centimeters/inches and still program in degrees or rotations!
Thank you for using this calculator!
