Main Activities:
Main Activities:
Location of Disks 1, 2 and 3.
Developing:
Build a program which collects disks 1, 2 and 3, and puts them in the middle starting square
Approaching:
Build a program which collects disks 1, 2 and 3, and puts them in their correct colored square.
Proficient:
Using loops and variables, build a program which collects disk 1, 2 and 3, and returns them to the starting middle square.
Exemplary:
Create two functions: One which takes the robot to the row of disks, one which takes the robot back to the starting square.
Using those functions, loops and variables, create a program which collects the two red and one green disk, and returns them to the starting square.
How to create and run your own function?
Step 1: Create your block and give it a name
Step 2: Apply the code you want to the function
Step 2: Apply the code you want to the function
