Path& setK(double k)

Sets the k constant for the path

Parameter

k - The k constant for the path

Returns

The path

Explanation

When I talked about the path speed generation at the home page for this seciont, I mentioned a constant. This function sets this constant. When generating the path speeds, the speed is set to the k constant divided by the curvature at that point. Thus, increasing the k constant makes the robot take turns faster. My recommendation is to default it to between 1 and 1.5

Example

Path path = Path();
path.setK(1.3);
