Pitch and Roll Mode
You can also use the PS4 controller’s internal gyroscope to control your TaskBot. 

Hold down the L1 and R1 buttons at the same time to enter pitch and roll mode. 

While continuing to hold these buttons down, tilt the controller forward to move 

forward, back to go backward, left to turn left, and right to turn right. 
Line-Following Mode
Drive the TaskBot up to a line so that the Line Finder Sensor is directly over the line. 

The TaskBot should line up with the line so that it faces the same direction that 

the line goes. Hold down the L2 and R2 buttons at the same time to enter line-

following mode. You should see the TaskBot start following the line.
Raising the Flag
Use the Cross, Square, Triangle, and Circle buttons to set the flag to different 

positions.
Proximity Warning
While driving the TaskBot, you might notice that the PS4 controller will vibrate 

if you get too close to an object. Using the Ultrasonic Sensor to detect distance, 

PRIZM will turn on the PS4 rumble motors if an object comes within 50 centimeters.

Closer than 50 

centimeters
