Make our Robot go to the Alien
click on the green "Action" menu heading
Get rid of the "Document Your Work" window so that we have space for our commands
Left-click on "Close Content Editor"
This gives us more space for our commands
click on the middle "Move Tank" image and drag it to the command line
The command is already set for "Rotations"
Change both motor speeds to 50 per cent by typing in 50.
75 per cent is a bit fast for testing...
Change the number of wheel rotations from one to two by typing in 2.
and the tick means that the robot stops after the two wheel rotations - good.
We now test this new command by downloading it to our Robot
We want it to go and stop on to the "Red Carpet" in front of the Alien...
WITHOUT KNOCKING THE ALIEN OVER - (avoiding Intergalactic war?)
Download the program commands to our Robot
by clicking on the "Download and Run" image
and it runs beautifully!
If it does not reach the "Red Carpet" increase the number of rotations from two to three or four...
It it goes too far, reduce the number of rotations below two.
Next we need our Robot to speak to the Alien...
