Program Review: Square Dance 1

  • The program shown below is a sample solution to the Square Dance 1 Mini-Challenge from Loops 3.
  • In the solution, the robot travels clockwise around the square box.
Hover on any block in the program to view a detailed explanation.
1_RepeatForever_Block Always sends the program flow back to the start of the loop when the flow reaches the end of the loop (' } '). Robot repeats the movements inside the loop forever.
2_Forward_ Moves the robot forward 7.4 rotations (a side of the square box) at 50% power. The robot drives along one of the side of the square box.
3_TurnRight_ Turns in place to the right, for 0.72 rotations (approx. 90 degrees) at 30% power. Turns 90 degrees to the right.

Program Review: Square Dance 2

  • The program shown below is a sample solution to the Square Dance 2 Mini-Challenge from Loops 4.
  • In the solution, the robot travels clockwise around the square box.

1_Repeat_Block Conditionally sends the program flow back to the start of the loop. Lets the flow out of the loop after the 4th pass through the loop. Robot repeats movements inside the loop until they have been run 4 times, which makes one square lap.
2_Forward_ Moves the robot forward 7.4 rotations (a side of the square box) at 50% power. The robot drives along one of the side of the square box.
3_TurnRight_ Turns in place to the right, for 0.72 rotations (approx. 90 degrees) at 30% power. Turns 90 degrees to the right.

Program Review: Square Dance 3

  • The program shown below is a sample solution to the Square Dance 3 Mini-Challenge from Loops 5.
  • In the solution, the robot travels clockwise around the square box.
Hover on any block in the program to view a detailed explanation.
1_RepeatUntil_Block Conditionally sends the program flow back to the start. Lets the flow out of the loop if the sensor's value is 'less than 300mm' at the beginning of the loop. Robot repeats movements inside the loop until the Ultrasonic Sensor sees an object within 3 cm at the exact moment the loop starts (just after turn completes).
2_Forward_ Moves the robot forward 7.5 rotations (a side of the square box) at 50% power. The robot drives along one of the side of the square box.
3_TurnRight_ Turns in place to the right, for 0.72 rotations (approx. 90 degrees) at 30% power. Turns 90 degrees to the right.
