Food Tour

Food Tour Activity downloaded to the Art Canvas Plus Playground. The VR Robot is on the playground having already drawn a line between each destination on the Food Tour map.
Launch VEXcode VR now

Use [Drive for] and [Turn for] blocks and the VR Pen to drive the VR Robot to color each of the seven continents of the world on the map, draw lines between Location Marks to design your travel path to explore food around the world, and fill the circle food plates at the top of the worksheet with the same color as the continent where the food originated. The fastest time wins!

  • Download the Food Tour activity worksheet as a PNG file from this Google slideshow.
  • Select the Art Canvas+ Playground and upload the Food Tour activity worksheet.
  • Code the VR Robot to color each of the seven continents of the world. 
    • Use a different color for each continent. 
    • Use a comment to name each continent in your project.
  • Code the VR Robot to draw a travel path for you to explore food around the world.
    • Use the [Set pen color] and [Move pen] blocks to code the VR Robot to draw lines between the Location Marks to design the travel path.
  • Code the VR Robot to fill the food plates with the same color as the continent where the food originated.
  • Set up a timer to time this process. Use the [print] block to print the timer value to the Print Console.
  • Add a note in your project to describe the story of your food tour! Be creative! 

Helpful Hints

  • Use the reset timer block from the Sensing category to reset the timer back to 0 seconds at the beginning of your project.

    VEXcode Reset timer variable block that reads 'reset timer'.

    • Matching Python command:

      brain.timer.clear()

  • Use the Reporter block from the Sensing category to get the timer value.

    VEXcode Timer value block that reads 'timer in seconds'.

    • Matching Python command:

      brain.timer.time(SECONDS)

  • Use the print block from the Look category to print the values to the Print Console.

    VEXcode Print block that reads 'print VEXcode'.

    • Matching Python command:

      brain.screen.print("VEXcode")
  • To complete the task as fast as possible, design an efficient path to minimize the traveling distance and turns for the VR Robot.
