[ODE] buggy program

[Dhiren Padhiar]

Hello,
   
  I'm using the buggy program to make the buggy an obstacle avoiding machine as part of my final year project. I've managed to get the buggy to collide with a box and reverese. I want the buggy to reverse a bit and stop so there is a fair distance between the buggy and obstacle.
   
  I can't get the buggy to stop, I've decided to use a for loop that as it is reversing, the buggy starts to slow down and eventually stop, but the for loop doesn't seem to be working. I can set the buggy to got at certain speeds, however the for loop won't slow the buggy down.
   
  For example,
   
  if (g2)
  {
       for (speed = -0.3; speed==0; speed+=0.1)
  }
   
  The above will set the speed to -0.3, so when it collides it will reverse at that speed, but it doesn't slow down, it just carries on reversing. It should reverse at -0.3 and then gradually come to a halt.
   
  Any ideas/suggestions as to how I can resolve this?
   
  Kind Regards
  Dhiren.
