Worksheet A

This document is a worksheet for planning two routes for a robot to take on a planet from its starting point to location X, avoiding obstacles. Students are asked to plan the routes using instructions for moving forward, turning left, turning right, and moving backward. They then record the sequence of instructions for each route and tally the number of each type of instruction used. Finally, students analyze which route used the fewest instructions, fewest different instruction types, and which was most efficient.

Worksheet A Robot walk: record sheet 1

1 Using the planet you made in 4.1.2 Plan-IT, work out two different routes for your robot to take
from its starting point to ‘X’ avoiding the obstacles on the way. Your robot will only respond to
the following instructions:
 Forward: moves one square forwards in the direction the robot is facing
 TurnLeft: turns to the left 90 degrees
 TurnRight: turns to the right 90 degrees
 Backward: moves one square in the opposite direction to the direction the robot is facing.

For each route, note down every instruction you give to your robot and, when you have reached
your destination, count up how many times you used each of the four instructions.
Write short forms for the following commands
(Forward- FF, TurnLeft-TL,TurnRight-TR, Backward-BB)
