Hi i need to make one of your robots for school. After messing with the examples sketches i finnaly found out how i can replace the libaries, but now i want it to walk i have seen that there is a walk forward in the example sketch but i dont know how to activate it. i hope someone can help me with this matter because i want to get into coding.

I guess it’s just using the walk forward function.

walkforward(100, 2);

Have you checked the manual?
The firmware is explained in detail there

Also here is the routine to walk your robot forward

  BOT.move(ankleRight, 90);
  BOT.animate(speedms*2);
}


BOT.move(hipLeft, 90);
BOT.move(hipRight, 90); 
BOT.animate(speedms);
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------
void walkforward(int steps, int speedms){
BOT.move(hipLeft, 130);
BOT.move(hipRight, 40); 
BOT.animate(speedms);


for (int i = 0; i < steps; i++){
  BOT.move(ankleLeft, 45);
  BOT.animate(speedms*2);
  
  BOT.move(ankleRight, 135);
  BOT.animate(speedms*2);
