Extension Activity
With the example as a reference, try creating a new sketch to move the Codee
Bot in a square. Remember what you have learned from your previous activities
and experiment with different parameters to make the square larger or smaller.
Challenge yourself to create complex paths beyond a square. Try tracing out some
of the alphabet or navigate through a simple maze using dead reckoning.
Real-World Link
Some transportation vehicles take the same route time after time. If a vehicle is in
a warehouse, it could transport items to three different locations before returning.
Then it could pick up more items and move in a square to transport them.
