Note:

 

The returned value indicates the section of the armor that has been hit:

 

ID=1: Chassis rear

 

ID=2: Chassis front

 

ID=3: Chassis left side

 

ID=4: Chassis right side

 

ID=5: Gimbal left side

 

ID=6: Gimbal right side

 

 

Python API

：

 

Function: armor_ctrl.get_last_hit_index()

 

Return value:

 

    

●

 

index(int)

 

Function: armor_ctrl.get_last_hit_time()

 

Return value:

 

    

●

 

time(float)

 

 

 

(1) Objective: Continuously detects hit sections on a specific armor section. When the armor is hit, “True” is 
returned; otherwise, “False” is returned.

 

(2) Returned value: Boolean

 

(3) Example: Configure quick retreat

 

If the left side of the chassis is hit, the robot will retreat by moving to the right; if the front of the chassis is 
hit, the robot will retreat by moving backward.
