3) The robot first goes straight, then must move on the «eight» then a little forward and a «sharp turn in place» and again all the actions are repeated directly, Then the robot must move on the «eight» then a little forward and steep u-turn and so on 10-12 times.
To write a program you need to get acquainted with the blocks «Loop» and «Move Steering»
4) Exercise «eight» practicing turns Robot must move to the beat of the music, for this you can use the power adjustment of the motors 5) Exercise «A sharp turn in place»
The robot must move to the beat of the music, for this you can use the power adjustment of the motors Final Program Example:
