Instructions
  • Part A - Code Breakers (assessed in Week 3 of unit)
  • Identify the the piece of code that is incorrect in the provided sequence.
  • Explain why it is wrong and what the code should stay instead.
  • Part B – Program This (assessed in Week 5 of unit)
  • Follow and describe in English, a series of steps to program a floor robot.
  • Plan a route to program a robot to follow a path.
  • Write a sequence of steps and decisions (algorithm).

Part A - Debug this (fix this)
  1. Follow these directions carefully, find the mistake, circle it and change it so that MiP meets up with his friend the elephant.

X
  1. The robot needs to:
  • start at the X
  • take as few steps as possible
  • pick up both the coins
  • drop the coins in the chest.

In the box below, use words or symbols to program the path for the robot to follow.
