VR Robot and The Red Gems

Challenge: Three red gems (red squares) are hidden in the maze. The object of the game is to code the VR Robot to drive from the Start Position A (green square A), maneuver through the maze to identify the locations of the three gems, and ultimately arrive at the Exit Position B (green square B) on the Maze+ Playground to escape the maze. The fastest time wins! To identify the location of a red gem, drive the robot onto the red square and print its X and Y coordinates to the Print Console.

  • Drive the VR Robot onto the first red square. Use the [print] block to print its X and Y coordinates to the Print Console.
  • Drive the VR Robot onto the second red square. Use the [print] block to print its X and Y coordinates to the Print Console.
  • Drive the VR Robot onto the third red square. Use the [print] block to print its X and Y coordinates to the Print Console.
