• Drag in the [Turn for] block and attach it beneath the [Drive for] block. Set the parameters of the [Turn for] block to turn right 90 degrees.
  

  

• To draw the second side of the square, duplicate the [Drive for] and [Turn for] blocks. To duplicate, right click or long press on the [Drive for] block.
  

  

• Additional [Drive for] and [Turn for] blocks are now added to the stack.
  

  

• To draw the last two sides of the square, duplicate the [Drive for] and [Turn for] blocks. Right click or long press on the first [Drive for] block in the stack.
  

  

• The stack of blocks will then be duplicated.

• Select the “Start” button to test the project.
  

  

• The VR Robot will drive forward for 600 millimeters (mm) and then turn right for 90 degrees, while drawing with the Pen tool. The VR Robot will repeat these behaviors four times to draw all four sides of the square.
  

  

• Select the “Reset” button to reset the Playground and move the VR Robot back to the starting position.
