Extension Activity
With the example as a reference, try creating a new sketch to move the Codee Bot
in a square using the repeat-do block and called functions. Or for an additional
challenge, create complex paths beyond a square such as rectangles or hexagons.
Remember what you have learned from your previous activities. The challenge is to
move forward with your own unique robot builds and apply the coding knowledge
you have learned in new and exciting ways.
Real-World Link
Robots are used to place items into packages in manufacturing. They have to repeat
this process over and over again. The robots use sensors to sense when a package is
underneath them to place an item.
