The program starts by turning both motors forward. (If a motor turns in reverse when it should be
turning forwards swap the connections at the terminal block).
The orange decision box checks whether either microswitch is pressed. If not, the motors continue
turning forwards. When a switch is pressed both motors are reversed for half a second, then one
motor turns forward, causing the robot to turn. A third of a second later the second motor turns
forward and the robot continues moving in a straight line.
