Move Command

The move command makes the robot move.

The API responds to the command after it has been verified, but before the robot has

completed the motion. If another move command is issued before the robot completes the

previous one, the prior

move command is interrupted. See the events command for how

to determine when the

move command is complete.

There are quite a few different forms of the move command:

Move Distance

Format:

move <distance> <units>

Parameters:

<distance> is a positive or negative floating point number

<units> is inches, centimeters, meters, feet, or degrees

Since the first letter of each of these is unique, anything which begins with that

first letter is assumed to be the correct word. This allows abbreviations, such as

in:

move 30.5 i

move -2 ft
