Distance to cover / circumference = number of rotations Distance to cover: distance / circumference = number of rotations
Distance of turns: 380mm / 256mm = 1.48 ~1.5 rotations Distance of turns: 380mm / 256mm = 1.48 ~1.5 rotations
Distance of the long side of the track 1850mm / 256mm = 7.22 ~ 7.2 rotations Distance of the long side of the track: 1850mm / 256mm = 7.22 ~ 7.2 rotations
We also did two small experiments to make sure that the mathematical theory was correct, as there is always the chance of the electrical motors being inaccurate because of wear and tear.

The first experiment was to see if the distance covered was the same as the circumference of the wheel: The first experiment was to see if the distance covered was the same as the circumference of the wheel:
