How to play & hint

Follow the perimeter counterclockwise. Rescue at the two eastern corners and budget for returning home.

Camera rotation does not change the robot’s heading. Turns stay on the same tile. Reset returns the robot to its start; your program stays editable.

These are custom Scratch-inspired simulation blocks. This site does not run Scratch projects or control physical hardware.

Explain your thinking

Why is reaching the second pod not the end of the rescue?

Predict → build → test → explain → revise. Swap driver and navigator roles after a test.
