Introduction

In this Unit, you will learn how to play Treasure Hunt with your Simple Clawbot! Treasure Hunt is a timed trial competition, where your robot will move autonomously to collect red Treasure Cubes on the Field in the fastest time. Your robot will need to check each cube along the Field as part of its run, and you will learn ways to make your code more efficient throughout the Unit. Watch the animation below to see an example of how a robot could autonomously move during a successful run in the Treasure Hunt competition.

In the Treasure Hunt competition, your robot will race against the clock to collect two red Treasure Cubes and place them into the Treasure Chest as fast as possible!

  • The robot that successfully checks all the cubes and collects both Treasure Cubes the fastest, wins!
  • The match has a time limit of two minutes.
  • You must use the Optical Sensor, but can modify your robot however you like to optimize your strategy.
