Challenge Overview
Program the robot to navigate around the Moon’s crater using steering command blocks.
Requirements:
Requirements:
- The robot should start and finish in the same area.
- Use steering command blocks to program the robot to drive around one “crater.”
- Program the robot to make wide-angle turns using the steering block to drive around the crater.
- Hint: Measure the distance the robot needs to drive toward the crater and what angle it should turn.
