Robotics Worksheet: Robot Grid Moves
Robot tip (One line at a time): (x, y) = squares across (east), squares up (north). forward n: north adds n to the second number, east adds n to the first, south and west take away. turn left / turn right: change only the direction by 90°. Write the square and direction after every line.
