Eat up the Beacons

The Grab commands in Robomind are:
❖ pickUp() – the Robo can pick one beacon at a time

❖ putDown() – the Robo drops the beacon that was picked up

❖ eatUp() – destroys the beacon by picking it up and swallowing

Pick the beacons and eat them up thereby clearing the way towards the white spot.
❖ Open passbeacons.map

❖ You can see from the left, a Robo, then beacons and a white spot at the right.

❖ The task is to move the Robo from the left to the white spot on the right.
