Coral Reef Cleanup Playground with the VR Ocean Cleaning Robot in the coral reef facing trash to be collected.

Use [Drive for] and [Turn] blocks, and the Front Distance Sensor to drive the VR Robot to collect as much trash as possible before the batteries run out.

Select the Coral Reef Cleanup Playground.
Code the VR Robot to collect as much trash as possible before the batteries run out.
- Set desired turn velocity. Use the [Turn] block to keep rotating the Drivetrain and use the Front Distance Sensor to check for trash.
- If the Front Distance Sensor detects a piece of trash, drive the VR Robot for the distance between the robot and the piece of trash to collect it.
- Use the [Forever] block to keep the VR Robot constantly checking for and collecting trash.
