Answer the following questions in your engineering notebook after completing the activities.

  • What are three things you can check to troubleshoot your project, before asking your teacher for help?

  • Read the following stack of code blocks, and draw and write the path the robot will take when the project is run.

    Sample VEXcode project with 7 Drive for and Turn for blocks connected to the When started block. In order, the blocks will make the robot Drive forward 4 inches, turn right 90 degrees, Drive forward 4 inches, turn left 90 degrees, drive forward 4 inches, turn left 90 degrees, and drive forward 4 inches. The last block is a stop driving block.
