Lesson 3: Mini Challenge

For this mini challenge, create a project where the VR Robot picks up and drops each of the blue disks into the blue goal on the Disk Mover Playground. Use the energize command, while loops, and sensing commands to instruct the VR Robot to drive up to each blue disk, pick up the disk, drive back to the start, and drop the disk in the blue goal. 

A top down view of the Disk Mover Playground with the VR Robot in the blue goal in the lower left corner, and the three blue disks highlighted with a red box, illustrating which disks should be collected in the challenge.

Follow these steps to complete the mini challenge:

  • Watch the solution video to see how the VR Robot should drive in order to complete the mini challenge. In the video clip below, the VR Robot starts in the center of the blue goal. It drives forward to pick up the first blue disk, then turns around, and drives to the blue goal, stopping to drop the blue disk in the center of the goal. The robot then turns around again to face the remaining blue disks, and repeats these behaviors to collect all three blue disks in the blue goal.

  • Create a project by adding or removing the necessary commands to the Unit8Lesson3 project.
  • Start the project to test it.
  • If the project is not successful, edit and try again. Continue to revise and run the project until the VR Robot successfully picks up and drops each of the blue disks into the blue goal on the Disk Mover Playground.
  • Save the project once the VR Robot successfully picks up and drops each of the blue disks into the blue goal on the Disk Mover Playground.
