### Exercise 6
The code produced in this exercise was based on Philippe Hurbain's implementation[1]. The body of the control loop is listed below:
```java
distance = sensor.getDistance();
leftMotor.forward();
rightMotor.forward();
if(distance <= desiredDistance) //close to wall
{
if(distance <= desiredDistance * 0.7) //very close
{
rightMotor.backward();
}
else
{
rightMotor.flt(true);
}
}
else //far from wall
{
if(distance >= desiredDistance * 1.1)
{
leftMotor.flt(true);
}
}
Thread.sleep(10);
```
A possible improvement on our implementation could be a proportional control system, with the error being used to control the power of both motors, allowing smoother turns than the `flt` and `backward` functions used in this exercise.
